  Title: Charitable trusts in English law
  Passage: Charitable trusts in English law are a form of express trust dedicated to charitable goals.  There are a variety of advantages to charitable trust status, including exception from most forms of tax and freedom for the trustees not found in other types of English trust.  To be a valid charitable trust, the organisation must demonstrate both a charitable purpose and a public benefit.  Applicable charitable purposes are normally divided into categories for public benefit including the relief of poverty, the promotion of education, the advancement of health and saving of lives, promotion of religion and all other types of trust recognised by the law.  There is also a requirement that the trust's purposes benefit the public (or some section of the public), and not simply a group of private individuals.
  Title: Joseph Rowntree (philanthropist)
  Passage: Joseph Rowntree (24 May 1836 – 24 February 1925) was a Quaker philanthropist and businessman from York, England.  Rowntree is perhaps best known for being a champion of social reform, partner and friend of Charles Booth, and his time as a chocolatier at family business "Rowntree's", one of the most important in Britain.  Even as a powerful businessman, he was deeply interested in improving the quality of life of his employees; this led to him becoming a philanthropist, pursuing many charitable causes.  In 1904 he created three trusts, the Joseph Rowntree Village Trust (JRVT) which was originally set up to build and manage the garden village of New Earswick, the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) and the Joseph Rowntree Social Services Trust (JRSST).  The latter two were both set up to effect social reform, the difference between them being that whereas the Charitable Trust was set up as a charity, the Social Services Trust was set up as a limited company so that if necessary it would be able to undertake social and political work not legally allowed by a charitable Trust.  He suggested that only the JRVT would be permanent but in fact all the trusts are still in existence although the Social Services Trust has changed its name to the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust and with the separation of the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust from the Village Trust in 1968, there are now four trusts that exist today.

  Title: Rhino Ark
  Passage: Rhino Ark is a charitable trust registered as a Charity in Kenya, UK (Charity No. 1047083) and United States (with IRC 501 (c) 3 Status).  Founded in 1988 the trust responded to the grave crisis facing Kenya’s Black Rhino population in the Aberdare ecosystem (see also Aberdare National Park).  The Rhino were under severe threat from rampant poaching for their highly valued horn.  Rhino Ark’s initial aim was to build a fence along sections of the Aberdare National Park on its Eastern Salient where rhino were being mercilessly poached.  The Salient borders directly onto farming land.  Wildlife was able to maraud at night into the farms bordering the park, destroying crops, creating fear and loss of both revenue and on occasions, lives.  This situation fuelled an already volatile community which saw no value in protecting either the wildlife or the forest habitat.  Poachers had easy access.
  Title: Charitable trust
  Passage: A charitable trust is an irrevocable trust established for charitable purposes and, in some jurisdictions, a more specific term than "charitable organization".  A charitable trust enjoys a varying degree of tax benefits in most countries.  It also generates good will.  Some important terminology in charitable trusts is the term ‘corpus’ (Latin for ‘body’) which refers to the assets with which the trust is funded and the term ‘donor’ which is the person donating assets to a charity.
