Donations

Every donation to BSBI directly supports our mission to advance the understanding and appreciation of wild plants and support their conservation in Britain and Ireland.

By becoming a volunteer, a member, a legacy donor or simply a supporter of BSBI, you are helping us achieve our three core goals:

  • To build, develop and train a diverse community of botanists
  • To gather and distribute high quality data to help address biodiversity loss and climate change
  • To inspire curiosity and passion for plants throughout Britain and Ireland

Support the work you care about today.

Legacies

Leaving a gift in your Will to the BSBI can be one of the most impactful ways to support our work for generations to come; and yet only 6% of people leave a legacy to a charity.

Join our community of individuals who have pledged to remember BSBI in their Will and support our work into the future.

To find out more, visit our dedicated Legacies page.

Gift Aid

As a charity, BSBI can claim Gift Aid on all eligible donations, increasing their value by 25% at no additional cost to the donor.

If you are a donor who has not yet signed a Gift Aid declaration with us, please complete a Gift Aid form (available as either a pdf or a Word doc) - so BSBI can reclaim tax from your payment.

Current Priorities

Support for Recorders Appeal

After the success of Plant Atlas 2020, we want to ensure that our digital systems support recorders' needs, that we provide relevant training and opportunities, and that we are advancing projects that achieve significant impact through using our data for botanical conservation.

To achieve this we are opening a new appeal, to increase the capacity of the BSBI to focus on this work. Head here to find out more and to donate directly to this vital work.
