Support Us

Harewood House is run by an independent charity which relies entirely on your support.

To protect its future, the house and its collections demand constant attention; an annual programme of conservation, restoration and maintenance requires significant skill, time and expense. Harewood would not still be open to the public without the support of our visitors, members, donors and corporate partners.

Each year the charity must generate more than £4million to keep its doors open; by supporting us through donations, membership and volunteering, you join us in our efforts to keep the house and gardens open to the public.

Donations

A donation today will support our vital conservation and maintenance work at Harewood; preserving the historic fabric of the house, cultivating the diverse and expansive gardens, and protecting the endangered species in our Bird Garden.

Your support helps us ensure Harewood is here for the long-term enjoyment of our visitors. Thank you.

Gift Aid Explained

Gift Aid increases the value of donations given to charities by UK Tax Payers This includes Membership and Patrons Support. By signing a Gift Aid Declaration Form, we can claim an additional 20% donation from the government at no extra cost to you.

Unfortunately, standard tickets do not qualify as a donation and are therefore not eligible for Gift Aid. This is why we ask our visitors to donate an additional 10% on top of the entrance fee if they are able. Whilst not compulsory, this ensures your money goes even further.
