The Reuben Foundation is a private foundation established in the United Kingdom created to channel the charitable giving of the Reuben family and David and Simon Reuben. The Foundation supports a range of charitable causes, from long-term funding of projects to individual charitable donations, with a focus on the global advancement of healthcare and education. Formed in 2002 as the Reuben Brothers Foundation with an initial endowment of US$100 million, grants are made by invitation only and on the approval of the Trustees.
The Reuben Foundation is registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales and operates in the United Kingdom, Canada, Israel, the United States and Greece.
In 2012 the Reuben Foundation launched the Reuben Scholarship Programme with a multi-million pound endowment. The programme was formed to provide financial support to bright students from disadvantaged backgrounds allowing them to benefit from the opportunity of higher education. The Reuben Scholarship Programme is in partnership with the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, UCL and Ark Schools. Ark is an education charity that strives to make sure that all children, regardless of their background, have access to a great education. They run a network of 35 schools in the UK, each with its own distinctive character reflecting the needs of the local communities.
The Reuben Scholarship programme has created over 175 Reuben Scholars, each funded for the full duration of their course.
In 2017 the Reuben Foundation expanded the Reuben Scholarship Programme to include postgraduate students. Reuben Graduate Scholarships are awarded to enable outstanding Masters’ and PhD students from Israel to gain a postgraduate degree at either the University of Oxford or University of Cambridge. Again, the Reuben Graduate Scholarships are for the full duration of each course, with an additional contribution per annum towards international travel and research.
