Endowment

The Endowment campaign – A World of Possibilities – is a joint initiative between the House and the Foundation to secure the long-term future of the House and its educational aims.  The Honourary Co-Chairs are Sir Nigel Sheinwald, British Ambassador to the United States and Robert Tuttle, United States Ambassador to the Court of St James’s.  An Advisory Group is underway comprising 16 senators and congressmen and women, along with fifteen members of Britain’s House of Lords and House of Commons.  An Educational Panel is being created to enable scholastic leaders to lend their support to the campaign.  US fundraising events will take place upcoming, including a reception hosted by the British Embassy.
