Sponsor Scientific offers unique science-focused fundraising and business development support.
Our consultancy services help organisations communicate their research and secure funders, partners and sponsors.
We also help funders, including individual donors, foundations, corporate sponsors and their agencies.
It doesn’t take a genius to spot that science matters in today’s world. We need both research and education to combat climate change, pollution, disease and misinformation. However, for many organisations finding funding for their crucial work is a struggle.
Sponsor Scientific was started in 2020 by Dr. Samia Burridge. Samia has a track record of developing new, high value funding relationships, including strategic corporate partnerships and sponsorships.
With a first-class degree in chemistry and doctoral research in earth sciences and oceanography, Samia has worked as a science writer, publisher, fundraiser and business development manager. She started her career at the Nature journals and later moved into philanthropy and development for nonprofits, working across several areas of fundraising including trusts & foundations, major donors, and corporate partnerships. Her editorial experience spans grant writing, developing strategic plans, impact case studies and REF submissions for Universites, science writing, peer reviewed articles, copywriting for communications, marketing and PR, and developing sponsorship proposals.
Samia values quality, integrity, and independence and is on a mission to connect organisations to funders who want to support crucial science. She is a member of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising.
