How to support 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.

Research projects can run for anything between one and five years, with research staff and administrative support allocated on a case-by-case basis, depending on the work involved.

We welcome all gifts, of whatever size.

While major gifts are important to the Institute, smaller gifts also add up to make a considerable difference to what we are able to achieve. All donors to the campaign will be acknowledged in the British Institute of International and Comparative Law Annual Review and other published material (unless you inform us otherwise) and kept informed of campaign progress.

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 your donations. Currently, the British Institute of International and Comparative Law can receive 28 pence for every £1 donated.
