Ways to donate

From helping to maintain our beautiful building, to funding the music programme, there are a number of ways to donate to us.

Support us

We receive no regular state funding to look after this iconic building. Anything you are able to give is greatly appreciated.

It costs over £17.3million each year to keep our doors open to welcome visitors and worshippers from all over the world.

Our visitor numbers and income continue to increase towards pre-pandemic levels. These help to cover our day-to-day running costs.

We need your help to preserve our nation’s Cathedral for all to enjoy.

Your donation will help us to: 
•    maintain our beautiful building and the art and historical objects housed within it
•    continue to deliver our world-famous year-long programme of live music
•    deliver a wide and diverse programme of learning

Make a general donation

If you simply want to support St Paul’s vital work and mission, then giving a monthly unrestricted donation is a wonderful way to do so. Your donation will be used where it’s needed most – from maintaining our building to ensuring we continue to offer an excellent programme of music.

Invest in heritage crafts

The Wren International Centre of Excellence will be a leading hub for traditional craft skills, ensuring the continued care of our iconic Cathedral, while training the next generation of heritage craftspeople.

Protect our building

St Paul’s is in need of constant care, with our hard-working Property department looking after its conservation. A monthly donation to our fabric fund will safeguard our precious building and our art and textiles.

Support the music

Maintaining our world-class music is expensive. Fans can choose to give a monthly donation to sustain St Paul’s wonderful choir, organ and music outreach. You can also become a Music Patron, which gives priority access to our concerts and special performances.
