History

The Bonita Trust was founded in 2004, under Gibraltar law, as an independent philanthropic trust by a subsidiary of PartyGaming Plc., whose then principals were Ruth Parasol, Anurag Dikshit, Vikrant Bhargava and Russ DeLeon, prior to the company’s London Stock Exchange flotation in June 2005. Bonita was created to give back to the communities in which they, the company, and its staff live and work, past and present.

Bonita focuses the majority of its grant-making in five geographies:  the United Kingdom, India, Israel, Bulgaria and Gibraltar and is also interested in answering some of the key global challenges facing society.

Most recently, Bonita was recognised by the Gibraltar Heritage Trust which awarded Bonita the Group Heritage Award in recognition of the contributions made towards the protection of Gibraltar’s heritage.  Bonita has also supported health and education projects in Gibraltar, India, and Israel and will continue to expand its grant-making in coming years.
