Give to W&M Libraries

Each gift makes a difference

Why Give to W&M Libraries?

Although William & Mary is a public school, state assistance covers less than 11 percent of our operating budget. That is down from 27.8% in 2000 and 18.7% in 2005. Private gifts from members of the university's close-knit community, like you, provide vital resources. From our academic environment to world-renowned professors to state-of-the-art facilities, private support sustains the William & Mary experience.
