The trustees’ policy is to ensure that the charity Sense about Science is not dependent upon a single source of funding and receives its financial support from a diversity of sources: it currently receives funding from trusts and foundations, individual scientists and members of the public, learned societies and scholarly publishers.
All financial support is governed by this funding policy:
- Sense About Science’s principal funding is through grants and donations in respect of its core aims.
- Occasional direct sponsorship of activities will be by written agreement.
- Donations do not entitle any individual or organisation to decision-making authority.
- External funding will not divert Sense about Science from its agreed aims and values.
- Donations will normally be acknowledged in public reports and accounts.
Donations from individuals and small private trusts will be acknowledged at the request of the donor. All organisations who have donated in the previous two years are listed on this website. Direct sponsorship of activities will also be acknowledged on related publicity.
Questions about funding should be addressed to: The Board of Trustees, Sense about Science, 14A Clerkenwell Green, London EC1R 0DP or via email to hello@senseaboutscience.org.
