The Gordon Foundation helps people up to the age of 30 grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.

The Foundation provides a number of bursaries, currently with the following organisations: The Actors Centre, The Maritime Rescue Institute, Parkhouse Award, Rambert Dance Company, The Royal Academy of Music and Wigmore Hall.

It also offers a small number of grants to support young people engaging in educational travel which involves physical challenge and endeavour.

The Foundation also owns and maintains two long wheelbase Land Rovers which it loans without charge to groups of young people for expeditions or field trips.
