Image of Dr. Samia Burridge Fundraising Consultant
Dr. Samia Burridge is Director of Sponsor Scientific.

We are a unique science-focused fundraising and business development consultancy.

Our Projects Board connects projects with funders for free.

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, a major obstacle for organisations can be funding.

Sponsor Scientific was started in 2020 by Dr. Samia Burridge.

Samia has a first-class degree in chemistry and completed doctoral research in earth sciences and oceanography. She has worked as a science writer, publisher and business development manager. She spent her career at the Nature journals and a science charity working across the various areas of fundraising.
