Corporate support allows us to invest and expand our school and community programmes' reach into more areas and to maximise their impact. 

Corporate support plays a vital role in enabling the Royal Institution to inspire curiosity, confidence and engagement with science.

Through the support of businesses and organisations, we are able to invest in and expand our schools and community programmes, reach new audiences, and maximise our impact across the UK and beyond.


The Royal Institution is deeply grateful to all of our corporate partners  for their commitment to science engagement and education.


Each of our corporate partnerships is unique. Our dedicated team works closely with every organisation to develop meaningful, strategic collaborations that align with shared values, objectives and audiences.


How organisations can support the Royal Institution

Corporate support at the Ri takes a number of forms, including:

  • Sponsorships
  • Grants
  • Content partnerships
  • Corporate membership through The Spark Business Network


The Spark Business Network


The Spark Business Network is the Royal Institution’s corporate membership community, designed for organisations that value science, education and evidence-led thinking.


By joining the Spark Business Network, businesses support the Ri’s Be the Spark  campaign, helping to:

  • Inspire the next generation through schools and youth programmes, with a focus on reaching underserved communities
  • Extend access to high-quality science engagement through live events, digital content and livestreamed lectures
  • Protect and preserve the Ri’s historic home and collections, while supporting sustainable modernisation
  • Strengthen public trust in science through clear, independent and engaging communication
