Tata family: a tradition of trusts
Strong beliefs on sharing of wealth led the founders of the Tata Group to endow a number of philanthropic trusts. About 66% of the equity of the Tata Group returns to community development via the Trusts. In 1919, the first Trust was established and profit from the Tata companies was used for improving the quality of life of the underserved. Today, Tata focuses on activities in health, education, natural resource management and improving rural livelihoods.
