Undoubtedly you are inundated by requests for support from many organizations with causes more urgent or more worthy than psychical research. We all face these calls upon our generosity—and you probably give what you can. But if you are visiting our site then most likely you are interested in psychical research, and perhaps in ensuring that the research that the SPR supports and the reliable information and services that it provides can carry on well into the future. The SPR has always depended enormously on the generosity of individuals to sustain its operations, so if you think you might be able to help, please consider the options below.

When in 2015 the opportunity arose to fulfill a long-held dream of having our own premises we dug deep into the investment reserves that help fund the Society's operations. Contributions to the New Home Campaign help replenish our general fund and also give the donor the opportunity to be remembered on the display of supporters who contributed to this campaign.
The Survival Research Fund supports research into the fundamental question of whether some aspect of consciousness or personality survives the death of the body from a fund initially set up in the early years of the SPR by Henry Burton Tate (of the sugar family) specifically for this purpose. This fund provides vital support for researchers delving into questions for which it is almost impossible to find funding through conventional academic channels.
