Supporting the Institute

The Institute is ambitious in its wish to expand its activities,

but its growth is dependent on the financial assistance it receives. It is currently supported through membership subscriptions, its publications and events programmes, research grants, donations and sponsorship.

We welcome all gifts, of whatever size.

While major gifts are important to the Institute, smaller gifts add up to make a considerable difference to what we are able to achieve.

There are several ways you can give:

Examples of possible funding

  • Bursary for a talented intern (travel and accommodation) who could not otherwise work unpaid in the Bingham Centre for 4 months £1600
  • To fund a Visiting Fellow's travel cost £1250
  • Sponsorship of conferences, publications and other activities £5,000-£20,000
  • To fund a Research Fellow for one year £50,000
  • To fund a Senior Research Fellow for one year £85,000
  • To fund a research project for one year £250,000
  • Support for a Research Fellowship for 5 years £275,000
  • Support for a Senior Research Fellowship for 5 years £450,000

Donors giving over £5000 will be acknowledged in the British Institute of International and Comparative Law Annual Review and other published material and kept informed of development progress. (All requests for anonymity will be respected.)

For people who pay UK tax, even if they live overseas, Gift Aid is a very simple way to increase the value of their donations. By ticking the Gift Aid box it will enable the charity to reclaim the basic rate tax on your donations. Currently, the British Institute of International and Comparative Law can receive 28 pence for every £1 donated.
