Centre for Research on Entrepreneurship, Wealth and Philanthropy
The Centre for Research on Entrepreneurship, Wealth and Philanthropy (REWP) aims to help increase the scale, effectiveness and satisfactions of philanthropic giving in the UK and internationally. We look to do this through research and related activities.
The Newcastle Centre for Research on Entrepreneurship, Wealth and Philanthropy (REWP) is a University research centre. We operate under the umbrella of Newcastle University Business School.
Our mission
REWP takes an interdisciplinary approach to research on:
- entrepreneurship
- the building and management of large fortunes
- the deployment of such fortunes philanthropically to achieve world making social goals
The Centre initiates, develops and promotes flagship projects. These projects deliver excellent research of broad theoretical and empirical interest. They also yield significant practical outcomes.
We recognise that, in an age of acute inequality, philanthropy has the potential to make a positive difference to society. We look to collaborate on research with like-minded scholars from across the world. Active engagement in policy and practice networks is key to the shared ethos of REWP researchers.

Philanthropy North East
Philanthropy North East surveys over 900 years of philanthropic history in the North East of England. It covers the period from just after the Norman Conquest of 1066 up to the present day. By exploring philanthropy’s evolving role in the region, we aim to draw valuable lessons for the future.
Our website is hosted by Newcastle University. It is supported by REWP and the Community Foundation Tyne & Wear and Northumberland. It profiles notable philanthropists, beneficiaries, and philanthropic trusts and foundations that have shaped the region.
The website also includes a series of research papers produced by REWP colleagues. This work offers a comprehensive look at the philanthropic landscape of North East England. It also inspired the GeNErosity Festival. Held in November 2018, it celebrated 900 years of philanthropy in the region.
