"The Foundation was established in 1971 as a generalist grant-making trust when Sir John Ellerman died. He had inherited his substantial wealth from the business interests set up by his father, especially in shipping - the family business was called Ellerman Lines. Sir John and his wife Esther had no children but through their lives they developed a growing and profound interest in philanthropy.
"Today the Foundation uses Sir John's legacy to make grants totalling more than £4 million a year to about 180 different charities, mostly in the United Kingdom. For historical reasons we continue to support a few charities operating in Southern and East Africa."[1]
