Sense about Science is an independent registered charity and our accounts are available on the Charity Commission website. Our work is made possible thanks to the generosity of a range of funders, including scientists, members of the public, trusts and foundations, professional and learned societies, universities, and scholarly publishers. We recognise that there is a public interest in the funding of charitable organisations and are committed to openness and transparency about the sources of our funding. We provide a detailed breakdown of our funding, listing all donors who have given over £100 in the PDFs below. As our funding policy makes clear, Sense about Science maintains independence from its funders who do not influence our work in return for their financial support.
