He gave towards the buildings in Peckwater quadrangle at Christ Church, Oxford. To his Jacobite brother, Sir William Ellis (died 1732), he had lent £1,231, and in consideration of the debt he received a grant of the brother's forfeited estate in Ireland from William III. The estate having been ‘resumed’ and vested in trustees by the Act of Resumption (11 and 12 Will. III) ‘before he had received any benefit by it,’ Ellis in the next reign petitioned parliament for a bill of relief, and obtained it in May 1702.

In an age before social security or the National Health Service, any provision of medical or social care depended on charity or had to be privately paid for, even education prior to the Elementary Education Act 1870 was so dependent. Liverpool's wealthy elite and the comfortable class below them created institutions and supported them through donations. For example, Andrew Barclay Walker not only paid for the Walker Art Gallery with a £50,000 (over £5,000,000 in 2019) donation, but gave towards the founding of the University, as did Henry Tate and George Holt. Both William Pickles Hartley and William Rathbone gave away a third of their income to charity.
