Philanthropic Trust

The Bonita Trust is a philanthropic trust established under Gibraltar law in 2004 by a subsidiary of PartyGaming Plc, prior to its London Stock Exchange flotation in 2005. The Trust is served by an International Advisory Board whose first member was Ruth Parasol.

Bonita has focused the majority of its community grant-making in the United Kingdom, India, Afghanistan, Israel, and Gibraltar and has since inception, donated over £12.5 million pounds to charities leveraging technology to deliver programmes in the areas of education, health and entrepreneurship. The Trust also works with both urban and rural communities at a local level through its Community Funding Programmes.

The Bonita Trust Technology Umbrella Fund provides technological expertise in order to help charities promote themselves on the internet and increase their reach, and therefore their delivery of support.

As an independent philanthropic trust, Bonita is managed by a professional Trustee, who is advised by an International Advisory Board and the Bonita Trust Project Management Team.
