FUNDING
What about the Money ?
The total cost of creating a monumental sculpture like The Yorkshire Icon can be eye watering, but it is believed the project can be delivered at an attractive rate through commercial procurement and project management. The budget for the project is still a hefty £3.5m and that is and has been the main stumbling block for the last decade.
Income last financial year was £6,120 which is helping fund the project, but as the current income stream is not sufficient to fund the building of the sculpture, the support of a wealthy benefactor or many individual supporters would be required. The regional economic benefits far outweigh the cost of the project as can be seen in economic reasoning.
The project will continue to pursue funding, ​with the priority being to secure a site for the build.
