Williams's Trust

Williams granted the residue of his estate to 23 Trustees for a period
of
2000 years. The main areas supported by the Trustees today are the
education
of ministers of ‘the Three Denominations’ and the
Library, with the Library
now the most important public work of the Trust.
The Trust also supports
an annual lecture in Wales, which alternates between the Welsh
Independent
College and the Department of Religious and Theological Studies,
University of Cardiff. The Trustees also have the right to present
candidates
to a bursary at Glasgow University established by Dr Daniel Williams.
