Help the RSA turn enlightened thinking into action
The RSA is an enlightenment organisation committed to finding innovative practical solutions to the social challenges we face. We work to understand and enhance human capability to close the gap between today’s reality and people’s hopes for a better world. For example, the RSA Academy is one of over 200 UK schools that offer the RSA’s innovative Opening Minds curriculum. We also find user-centred approaches to help drug misusers recover from their addiction. We provide a platform for critical debate and new ideas with over 50 million now watching our lectures online and inspire our 27,000 network of Fellows to be a force for civic innovation and social change.
Corporate partnerships
Our corporate funders are thought leaders who want to support a fresh, practical and independent approach to policy thinking and development – from finding new ways to improve educational achievement to supporting social enterprises or developing a ‘people’s pension’ which is more transparent, accountable and better value.
