For over 100 years, through the support of our fellowship and funders, the British Academy has mobilised the humanities and social sciences to understand the world and shape a brighter future.

Shape a brighter future

Give online

As a charity we rely on donations and gifts from individuals and organisations to invest in researchers and projects across the UK and overseas, engage the public with fresh thinking and debates, and bring together scholars, government, business and civil society to influence policy for the benefit of everyone.

At a time when the challenges facing the world are profound, placing the humanities and social sciences at the heart of social, economic and cultural life is more important than ever. Through your generosity and support, we will be able to harness the unique intellectual capital of the British Academy to enhance opportunities for today’s most talented researchers, connect our brightest thinkers with some of the world’s greatest challenges and inspire many more people.

By supporting the British Academy, you will help us to:

Enhance the vital research community across the humanities and social sciences
Develop programmes to enrich and inspire public dialogue and thought-leading policy that addresses national and global challenges
Create a new, global platform for debate and engagement
