Patronage
Virtue Mine Honour

Sean Connery believes in helping others.

He has donated to and supported literally hundreds of charities. One little known fact about Sir Sean's philanthropy is that he donated his entire salary (well over $1 million) from his Bond film Diamonds Are Forever to the Scottish International Educational Trust which he co-founded. This generous grant — like his many other gifts — has benefited the lives of thousand of ordinary Scots. While not all of the many worthy charities he supports are mentioned on this site, Sir Sean would like you to consider helping others as he has.

Sir Sean's message

Sir Sean"I hope you are enjoying my website. While you are here, I would ask that you take a few moments to consider helping someone else. I will continue to develop this non-commercial website and provide to you electronic greeting cards, wallpapers, and insider information about my career. But I would like you to do something for me in return — I would request that you help me to help others. The charities listed below encompass three areas that are very important to me: education, culture, and Scotland."

Please take a few moments of your time and support these wonderful organizations:
