In recent years the Society has brought its mode of working up to date. It is led from day to day by a chief executive, the Director. It now resides in premises with specially created facilities ranging, from its lecture theatre, which is equipped with state-of-the-art audio-visual systems, to its housing of its collections, which meets British standards for archives. These new premises, at 14 Stephenson Way, next door to Euston Station, are a short walk from both the British Library and London’s university quarter.
From this position of strength the Society proposes to expand and enhance its activities. This will be done in three ways:
1. Knowledge -by increasing the Society’s contribution to the knowledge of Asia;
2. Conservation -by completing the cataloguing and conservation of its collections;
3. Endowment -by strengthening the Society’s capital endowment.
To achieve these ends the Society aims to raise £5m.
How you can contribute to the future of the Royal Asiatic Society
Donations to the Society are provided either as contributions to the Society's general purpose funds or as a specific donation for a separate and distinct project or purpose.
Contributions to the Society's general purpose funds are firstly applied to supplementing the Society's ongoing requirements for operational funding, but any surplus funds are then added to the Society's endowment to enhance its capacity to support and expand its core objectives on a long-term basis.
Donations provided for a separate and distinct project or purpose can be provided either for a one-off project or in the form of a designated fund, the income from which can be applied annually to support the donor's desired objective. In either case, the Society will consult fully with the donor and provide a detailed account statement to demonstrate how the funds have been employed.
Any donation will be applied to the Society's general funds, unless the donor specifies the donation as being for a separate and distinct project or purpose.
The Society will be pleased to discuss the details of any specific project which a donor would like to support.
