You can use Signleton pattern to access your configurations from anywhere

    public class ConnectionStrings

        // property with getter only will not work.
        public static ConnectionStrings Instance { get; protected set; } = new ConnectionStrings();

        public string DatabaseConnection { get; set; }
    }

and in your startup class

    public class Startup
    {
        private readonly IConfiguration configuration;

        public Startup(IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            this.configuration = configuration;
            configuration.GetSection("ConnectionStrings").Bind(ConnectionStrings.Instance);
        }

        public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
        {
        }

        public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
        {
        }
    }
