BFWG CHARITABLE FOUNDATION

In the 1920s the British Federation of University Women, now the British Federation of Women Graduates (BFWG), created a residence for women graduates at Crosby Hall by the Thames in London, which provided accommodation for women scholars, from all over the world, between 1927 and 1992.

The Company, Crosby Hall Ltd, which ran the Hall on behalf of the Federation, sold its interest in the 500-year lease to the freeholder in 1992 and vacated the premises.

The money raised by the sale of the lease has been invested. The proceeds provide funds to offer grants to women graduate scholars, (from Britain and overseas) engaged in study or research in Great Britain.
