About us

The Royal Foundation – now the primary philanthropic vehicle of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge – was founded 10 years ago.  It has built a track-record of learning, convening, incubating, researching, campaigning, and succeeding across a wide range of topics that really matter.  The Royal Foundation has helped disrupt criminal poaching networks through United for Wildlife.
