Our sponsors and collaborations

Plus is part of the Millennium Mathematics Project at the University of Cambridge. Our activities are made possible by funding from a number of organisations and individuals committed to the future of mathematics education and to improving the public perception of mathematics.

We are delighted to be working on grant-funded collaborations with the Isaac Newton Institute, funded by EPSRC; the Juniper Consortium, funded by UKRI; and the Maths4DL project, funded by EPSRC. We are very grateful for current support from the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Cambridge; and HEIF funding from the University of Cambridge, as well as individual donations from generous readers.

  • JUNIPER – the Joint University Pandemic and Epidemic Research. JUNIPER is a collaborative network of researchers from across the UK who work at the interface between mathematical modelling, infectious disease control and public health policy.
  • The Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI), an international research centre and our neighbour here on the University of Cambridge's maths campus, and the Newton Gateway to Mathematics, the impact initiative of the INI that provides bridges between mathematicians working on the frontiers of their field and people who use mathematics – in industry, business, the public sector and other scientific disciplines.
  • The Faculty of Mathematics, our home here at the University of Cambridge
  • Maths4DL – the Mathematics for Deep Learning research programme. Maths4DL brings together researchers from the universities of Bath and Cambridge, and University College London and aims to combine theory, modelling, data and computation to unlock the next generation of deep learning.
  • Heidelberg Laureate Forum - The Heidelberg Laureate Forum (HLF) is a networking conference where 200 carefully selected young researchers in mathematics and computer science spend a week interacting with the laureates of the disciplines. Established in 2013, the HLF is annually organised by the Heidelberg Laureate Forum Foundation (HLFF).

Past supporters

We are also very grateful for previous support from Cambridge University Press and Cambridge Assessment (formerly the University of Cambridge Local Examinations Syndicate), and past grants from the UK Department for Education and Skills, the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the Faculty and Institute of Actuaries, FQXi, the Isaac Newton Trust, the John Templeton Foundation, the Kavli Foundation (via a grant-funded collaboration with the Stephen Hawking Centre for Theoretical Cosmology), the London Mathematical Society, the Nuffield Foundation, PSI, the Royal Astronomical Society, the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Royal Commission of 1851, the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), and the Wellcome Trust.

We would like to thank all of our funders and donors, past and present, for their generosity and support.

Ways to give

If you value Plus and would like to support out work improving the public understanding of mathematics, we are very grateful for all donations we receive.  Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will enable us to keep Plus as it is: interesting, intelligent, fun, and – very importantly – freely accessible to all our readers.

For UK and international supporters: via the University of Cambridge's Development Office

  • Online: You can donate online via the University of Cambridge Development Office's secure site. Giving in this way means that, if you wish, your donation can benefit from Gift Aid, making your gift worth even more to us at no extra cost to you.

  • Alternatively, if you prefer, you can find out more about other ways to give here.

For US taxpayers: via Cambridge in America

  • If you are a US taxpayer you may prefer to donate via Cambridge in America. Cambridge in America is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organisation (recognised by the US Internal Revenue Service) which funds grants that benefit Cambridge University and its member colleges and departments. Gifts to Cambridge in America qualify for an income tax deduction to the limits allowed by law.

    You can give online via the Cambridge in America secure online gift form. In the box on the form asking whether you wish to donate to a specific program, please state that you would like your gift to support 'Plus website - Millennium Mathematics Project' as illustrated below (please note that it is important to cite the Millennium Mathematics Project as well as Plus to ensure the correct destination for your gift). 

  • Alternatively, there is further information about ways of giving on the Cambridge in America website.
