Donate to the Constitution Unit

The Constitution Unit is a non-profit research centre which relies on external funding to carry out much of its work. Many of our projects are funded by research bodies and charitable trusts, but crucial input also comes from the generous support of individual donors. Such donations help us to achieve our aims of encouraging policy that is based on high-quality research evidence.

The Unit’s outreach and public education activities – our Monitor, events, blog and explainers – have huge reach and their costs are supported by small regular donations.

Larger donations make new independent research projects possible. Past examples include the Independent Commission on Referendums and our short (but widely cited) report The Mechanics of a Further Referendum on Brexit.

If you feel that there is a particular research topic that the Constitution Unit should explore, please contact us to discuss it at constitution@ucl.ac.uk.
