Support us
As a registered charity (no 208791), we rely on your generosity.
Find out how you can support our work in advancing geographical knowledge and continuing our independent, innovative and inspirational work.
Why your support matters
For nearly 200 years we have worked to share knowledge of our planet, care for our precious Collections and inspire the next generation to become advocates for our world.
Geography is, in the broadest sense, an education for life and for living. Learning through geography – whether gained through formal learning or experientially through travel, fieldwork and expeditions – helps us all to be more socially and environmentally sensitive, better informed, and more responsible as citizens.
We are dedicated to highlighting the importance of geography in schools, supporting geographers and geographical communities, advancing geographical research in higher education and beyond, and collaborating with professional communities to guide geographers in their career development.
No matter how much you give, each and every gift we receive helps us all better understand our world.

Thanks to our supporters
We are proud to recognise our supporters and are immensely grateful to everyone who has generously donated in support of our work.
From one off-grants to long term collaborations, corporate support as well as support from charitable trusts, foundations and statutory bodies enables us to deliver events and activities for all, as well as preserve our Grade II Listed building and improve our facilities for the future.
Our geographical fieldwork grants, which are open to UK-based researchers to enable them to get out into the field, are generously supported by a number of donors. These include bequests from two original Mulu expedition members – the Marjorie Sweeting Bequest and Ralph Brown Memorial Award.
Thank you.
