The Cecil King Memorial Foundation was established in 1990 by Dame Ruth King, widow of the late Cecil King, to advance particular interests which he espoused during his lifetime. Cecil Harmsworth King was born on 20th February 1901, and was educated at Winchester and Christchurch College Oxford. After university, he worked for a number of papers including the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror. In 1929 he was made advertising director of the Daily Mirror and in 1951 became its chairman. He held this post until 1963 when he became chairman of the International Publishing Corporation. Cecil King died in 1987.

Cecil King spent the first four years of his life in India. It was here that he began his great love of animals. Some of the earliest photographs of him include him with an elephant's leg while learning to walk. All his life elephants were important to Cecil and thus the Foundation was charged by his widow to provide support to work with elephants where there was an identified need.
