As a charitable trust, and having no income of its own, the Foundation relies on authors and publishers to send complimentary copies of books and offprints. The Foundation is also deeply grateful for monetary donations, to facilitate further acquisitions of material, to maintain and develop the current collection, and to ensure that services to its many visitors and readers can be maintained. Cheques and covenants should be made payable to University of Reading: The Beckett International Foundation. All such donations are individually acknowledged, and potential donors are most welcome to visit the Foundation.

Companies, organisations, and scholars interested in sponsoring activities at the Foundation, suggesting institutional links, joint funding applications, etc., are warmly invited to contact Dr Ronan McDonald to discuss these proposals in confidence.
