Support from foundations, corporations and donors
As the world's oldest scientific academy, we aim to promote a spirit of enquiry, excitement and engagement with science throughout the scientific community and wider public. Scientific progress has been at the cornerstone of human advancement throughout history, the joy and wonder of scientific discovery is as important now as ever before.
Support allows the Society to continue to influence and lead scientific discovery and help to create a future for scientific excellence. Throughout our long history donations have been essential in enabling the Royal Society to support outstanding scientists, promote science and its benefits and recognise excellence in science. The Society is a registered charity and we rely on voluntary contributions to fund many aspects of our work.
