The Ramsay Centre was established in March 2017 through an extraordinary endowment by the late Mr Paul Ramsay AO.
Mr Ramsay was a leading Australian businessman and philanthropist. He was deeply grateful for the opportunities his country had given him, as one of many nations that had benefited from being part of the long continuum of Western civilisation.
To ensure others – especially young Australians – would appreciate this heritage, Paul resolved to establish a centre dedicated to the study of Western civilisation and asked the Hon John Howard OM AC to become chairman of the Centre.
