Two years after the passing of legendary actor Sean Connery, the Connery family has announced the establishment of The Sean Connery Foundation.
Created by his estate, the foundation seeks to honor the Oscar winner and original James Bond’s legacy through strategic grant making to institutions and organizations in Scotland and The Bahamas, the two countries he called home.
Connery died in the Bahamas in 2020 at age 90. Holly Gordon, formerly Chief Impact Officer at Participant, has been named Founding Executive Director of the foundation which is on track to commit £6 million in grants by the end of 2022.
