Sarah Ferguson’s Charity Shuts Down After New Epstein Files Spark Fresh Scrutiny
A charity linked to Sarah Ferguson is shutting down and the timing is raising serious questions as new details emerge from the latest release of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.
Sarah’s Trust, the charitable foundation set up by the former Duchess of York, has announced it will close for the foreseeable future. The decision comes just days after millions of files released by the US Department of Justice revealed new information about Ferguson’s past contact with the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the charity, the closure was discussed over several months and was not a sudden move. Still, the announcement has landed in the middle of renewed global attention on Epstein’s network and the powerful figures connected to him. That context matters, because among the newly released documents are emails that appear to show Ferguson communicating with Epstein even while he was serving time in prison for soliciting sex from a minor.
Being named in these files does not imply wrongdoing and no allegations have been made against Ferguson. But the emails have reignited public scrutiny, particularly given her past association with Epstein and the broader fallout that followed. In earlier years, several charities had already cut ties with Ferguson, saying her continued involvement was no longer appropriate due to reputational concerns.

Sarah’s Trust was launched in 2020 and positioned itself as a global humanitarian charity. It supported grassroots projects focused on hunger, poverty, environmental crises and emergency aid. The organization worked with dozens of partners across multiple countries and played a visible role during the pandemic and in humanitarian responses linked to global conflicts.
The foundation has not provided a detailed explanation for its closure beyond confirming that the decision had been in progress for some time. But in the court of public opinion, the renewed Epstein revelations have added pressure and intensified questions about governance, credibility and accountability.
This development also feeds into a larger and still-unfolding story. The Epstein files have drawn in politicians, royalty, business leaders and public figures from around the world. Each new release reshapes how institutions respond, how charities assess risk and how public trust can be affected by associations, even years later.
For the charitable sector, this moment underscores how reputational damage can ripple far beyond individuals. Donors, partners and beneficiaries are often left dealing with the consequences, even when no legal wrongdoing is established.
For the public, the closure of Sarah’s Trust is another reminder that the Epstein case is not just about past crimes. It continues to influence lives, institutions and public confidence today.
We’ll keep following developments as more information emerges from these documents and from those named within them. Stay with us and continue watching for clear, verified updates as this story evolves.
