Funders & Partners

Partnerships, sponsors and supporters are vital for maintaining and developing Glasgow Women’s Library.

The Library receives funding from many different sources, most of which is for use by particular projects within the Library. Income generated by membership, donations and services such as the research consultancy are still vital in covering our day-to-day running costs.
