There are several ways of supporting us, from sponsorship and funding to donating time, resources or money to just spreading the word.

Sponsoring us is an effective way of linking your brand with the work of IIBS.

Sponsorship is appropriate for organisations which believe in improving heritage education and promoting British art, design, architecture and culture, whilst sharing the pursuit of technological advancement in this field. Sponsorship donations are used to fund our ongoing research into the history of British Islamic art, design and construction. They also enable the IIBS project to continue to exist.

The benefits to your organisation include:

• a newsletter on new finds and discoveries
• being the first to be invited to exhibitions
• supporting a corporate social responsibility agenda which improves community development, cohesion, understanding and promoting and supporting education. Your sponsorship of IIBS is a clear statement to your stakeholders that you are genuinely committed to community development, heritage, and education.
• supply chain benefits – support of IIBS demonstrates your commitment to the advancement of education in history, heritage and the Arts of Britain. Thus, linking with IIBS will show your brand to Arts, heritage, cultural and education bodies.
• access to a network of like-minded organisations/individuals

Funding a project is particularly appropriate for organisations which have a direct interest in a particular locality, time period, artistic style, designer, landmark or specialist theme. Benefits include: Title branding on exhibition, website and publication material for that project and continued association with that advancement.
