The Queen Elizabeth II Commonwealth Trust (QECT) is a mid-sized nonprofit based in London, England, operating in the international trade and development sector. It was established in 2018 to honor theQueen’s lifetime of service and its connection to the Commonwealth and its young people. The organization places young Commonwealth leaders at the center of its work, offering their organizations flexible funding to enable investment where it can have the greatest effect, along with practical tools and support to help them become sustainable and more effective. It maintains a network of over 850 young leaders across the Commonwealth to exchange learnings and ideas. A key initiative is the QCT Platinum Jubilee Fund, created to support 70 young leaders in celebration of the Platinum Jubilee. In October 2022, the Trust announced a partnership with SDSN Youth to support SDSN Youth's Global Innovation and Impact Awards.
