Every single donation matters, however large or small. When you give to York, you join a worldwide community of donors who are working with us to tackle inequalities, generate new knowledge and make a positive impact on society.

Advancing Research through philanthropy
Research is fundamental to improving society, enabling economic growth in the right areas and changing people’s lives for the better.
In a world facing a climate transition, a migration crisis, global political turmoil and rapidly increasing inequality, the right kind of research is needed now more than ever.
