Your Gift Matters
Last year it cost over
£3.5 million
to keep our libraries and archives running. Around two-thirds of our funding comes from our contract with City of York Council, but we rely on donations, grants, and fundraising to cover the rest.
Your support makes a real difference.
By giving today, you’ll help ensure that your libraries and archives can continue to inspire, delight, and connect communities.
You can choose to support
Libraries
or the
Archives
with a
one-time
donation or a
regular monthly
gift.
