Who we are

Arcadia is a family philanthropy founded by Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin in 2002.

Arcadia is led by our donor board, supported by an expert advisory board and a small London-based team. Arcadia is funded by family trusts. We make grants via Arcadia Philanthropic Trust, a charitable trust in Liechtenstein.

Our work at Arcadia complements that of Lund Trust, which supports work that greens people’s lives in the UK.
