Giving Day is back!
Giving Day is an online 36-hour fundraising event to spread awareness and generate as much funding as possible for student support and mental health causes at the University of York.
Giving Day is an inspiring, community-driven and exciting global event that unites the entire York community. Over a span of 36 hours, we reach out to current and former staff, students and alumni around the world, and our local community, and invite them to support four causes at York. Together, we can make a transformative difference to students’ lives and drive groundbreaking mental health research. It’s truly an “all hands on deck” fundraising campaign; collaboration is key and every donation counts.

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!
