Funding of the Newton Institute

The Institute is funded from a number of sources, notably the Research Councils, EPSRC and STFC, which cover about 65% of the total running costs. Trinity College (through the Isaac Newton Trust) has committed more than £2M over the lifetime of the Institute and St John's College gave a subvention of £750K to cover most of the first 5 years' rent; it owns the Institute building but has now leased it to Cambridge University which allows the Institute rent-free use of it.

Magnificent donations have been made by NM Rothschild & Sons and by the Dill Faulkes Educational Trust.  Further vital support comes from CNRS (for support of French participants), PF Charitable Trust (for support of participants from Scottish institutions), the Leverhulme Trust and the London Mathematical Society.

Many smaller donations have been received, too many to mention here, but for all of which we are extremely grateful. We continue to seek new funding for Visiting Fellowships, and for general infrastructure support. The Endowment Fund of the Institute at present stands at about £5M;  we aim to increase this substantially over the coming years.
