Giving Day raised over £322,527 to support students and mental health at York.
This year's annual Giving Day held from 6 to 7 November has raised an incredible £322,527 to support students and mental health at York.
The funds were raised through the kindness of 733 generous donors, and supported by 101 ambassadors who championed the cause through spreading the word.
Various challenges left by generous donors meant that extra money was unlocked for each cause. Additionally, alumnus and longtime supporter Dr. Anthony H. Wild, made a substantial impact by offering a match donation that doubled £100,000 of donations raised during the event.
Thanks to the kindness of those who donated, we'll be able to support more students from less advantaged backgrounds to access an education at York and thrive while here, and improve mental health in York and beyond.
Thank you to everyone who supported Giving Day 2024!

Giving Day 2023 Donor
Last year was the University of York’s
most successful
Giving Day to date.
We collectively raised an astonishing £309,476 from 865 donors to deliver student support and contribute to mental health initiatives and research projects taking place at York with the potential for national impact.
Thanks to the incredible support of our alumni, students, retired and current staff at the University, and the local community, we have achieved huge fundraising success from our Giving Days. As of last year, Giving Day has raised a grand total of £917,208 from 3,756 donations.
From our very first Giving Day in 2019, more and more people have been inspired to make a donation - thanks to our supporters, we’ll be on track to surpass a total of £1 million raised altogether on our Giving Days!
