The Perivoli Trust is a U.K. domiciled family trust with a philanthropic focus. Its Trustees are James Alexandroff OBE and Barry McCorkell.

The Perivoli Trust owns a portfolio of investment assets in real estate, public and private equities and collectables.

 The Trust has owned, from its establishment in 1999, a stake in Arisaig Partners, an emerging market-focused investment management firm headquartered in Singapore, which has been the source of its wealth.

The Trust’s real estate assets include two houses for holiday rent in Italy and one in South Africa, the Perivoli Lagoon House in the Walker Bay Conservancy near Stanford, Hermanus in South Africa. All profits from the Lagoon House go to conserving local flora and fauna.

The Perivoli Schools Trust, established in 2012, focuses on enhancing the quality of nursery school education in Sub-Saharan Africa. It has trained over 40,000 nursery school teachers across six countries, with an ultimate target of 200,000 across eight countries by 2035.

Perivoli Innovations, a Jersey-based purpose trust, was established in 2016 to invest in early-stage Life Science, MedTech, ClimateTech, Digital and other new technology companies in the U.K. and Africa with a positive societal impact. Its four areas of focus are climate change, health, social inclusion and productivity enhancement. All profits are gifted to the Perivoli Foundation.

The Perivoli Africa Research Centre (PARC) was established at the University of Bristol in 2019 with a gift from the Trustee of the Perivoli Trust. It aims to foster more balanced partnerships between universities in the U.K. and Africa.

Perivoli Rangeland Institute, headquartered in Namibia, is implementing a Biochar Carbon Removal project to convert encroacher bush into biochar to feed into degraded soil, funded through the carbon offset markets.

The Perivoli Foundation, a UK charity established in 2020, funds the Perivoli Schools Trust, the Perivoli Africa Research Centre and the Perivoli Rangeland Institute, as well as several UK and Africa-focused, founder-led charities.

The Foundation has been funded hitherto by the Perivoli Trust but is now funded by exit proceeds from Perivoli Innovations. Third-party donations have not been sought by the Foundation.
