Giving

Invest in our Shared Future

Give the gift of connection and collaboration.  The sustainability of the York LaunchBox relies on the contributions of alumni, friends, and community leaders who see the potential for our work to virtually serve as a launching point for students and entrepreneurs.

An individual donor or company that commits a single gift or pledge commitment of $1 million to fully endow the York LaunchBox will be offered LaunchBox naming rights.
