US and other overseas donors

The Royal Society welcomes bequests from all over the world. We have always been an international organisation, acting as champion for science across international borders, and we currently have Fellows who live in some 30 different countries. Whilst it is possible for the Society to receive legacy gifts from overseas, the Society maintains charitable status in Hong Kong and the United States, and donors from these particular regions may find it advantageous to direct their legacy to the Society’s local representative.
