The Dangoor Family has pledged £2 million from The Exilarch’s Foundation, the family’s charitable foundation, to the Royal United Services Institute for Defence and Security Studies (RUSI), whose patron is Queen Elizabeth II and was founded in 1831 – making it the oldest defense and security think tank in the world.
RUSI promotes the study and discussion of developments in military doctrine, defense management and defense procurement. In recent years RUSI has broadened its remit to include all issues of defense and security, including financial and organised crime, terrorism and the ideologies which foster it and the challenges from other man-made or man-assisted threats and from natural disasters.
