But don’t just take our word for it…
The RSA is a space where I can come and work extremely effectively, where I can meet other people and then there were a whole load of benefits that I didn’t even realise – an incredible library, amazing Fellows who I get to chat to over lunch who are doing all kinds of wonderful and interesting things, and now I can invite other people to the RSA and collaborate with them.
Give something truly remarkable
Open doors to an international community dedicated to driving positive social change.
What’s the difference between Pay Fellowship Forward and Gifting Fellowship?
Pay Fellowship Forward and Gifting Fellowship represent two distinct ways of supporting individuals in gaining a Fellowship through the RSA.
Pay Fellowship Forward
This initiative allows donors the flexibility to contribute any amount they wish to a collective fund. Donors don’t know the direct recipients of their generosity. Pay Fellowship Forward is designed to assist financially underprivileged individuals who cannot afford a full Fellowship.
Giving the gift of Fellowship
Fellowship as a gift is a more personal approach where individuals can choose a specific recipient, such as a loved one, who they believe would benefit from becoming an RSA Fellow. Once the recipient is chosen, their Fellowship is sent to them as a gift.
Meet some of our Fellows
When you gift a Fellowship, you’re not just making a generous gesture. The lucky recipient of your gift is entering into a diverse community of talented individuals. They will stand shoulder to shoulder with other Fellows, dedicated to driving worldwide social change.
