Our Giving Community

The University of York is grateful for gifts of every size.  The support of our alumni, staff, parents and friends enables us to provide an outstanding experience for our talented students. 

All our donors are acknowledged in our donor role included in our annual donor thank you publication, Changing Lives. and will also receive by email our termly eZine update on projects that their support has enabled. 

Amongst the variety of  ways in which York recognises the support of our growing numbers of donors is through our gift clubs.  Through these we wish to bring our donors closer to the work of the University and foster a thriving giving community.

The Yorkies and Yorkies+ - for committed givers at all levels;

The Heslington Circle - for those who've pledged a gift in their will;

Morrell Fellowships- for those benefactors who have made significant contributions to the University.

Thank you to all of our donors whose support really makes a difference to day to day life across the University.

We're delighted to have the support of alumni to promote giving to York.  Meet our Giving Ambassador of the Month here.
