To ensure our independence, the Royal Society is funded from a variety of sources.
Support from foundations, corporations and donors
Gifts from foundations, corporations and individual donors, as well as legacies in the form of bequests and contributions received in the memory of others, help us maintain our independence, influence and lead scientific discovery and create a future for scientific excellence.
