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

The Atlas Appeal

Plant Atlas 2020 officially launched in March 2023, the most in-depth survey of British and Irish flora ever undertaken. It has only been possible thanks to the tireless work of BSBI recorders and the generosity of BSBI members, donors, supporters and partners.

There is still time to donate and maximise the impact of this vital resource. Visit the Atlas Appeal page to find out more and donate.
