More Ways to Give

There are several ways that you can help support the library’s operations: donate to our annual appeal, participate in a corporate matching gifts program, volunteer your time at the library, serve on the board, shop our used book sale, or purchase a bookplate.

Memorial & Honor Gifts

A gift made in someone’s name is always a meaningful way to mark a special occasion or to remember or honor a beloved family member, respected friend, colleague, or pet.

Memorial Gifts: Honor the memory of a loved one with a memorial donation. We’ll send a letter to the person or family you designate to let them know of your gift. (Gift amounts are not disclosed to the recipient).

Honor Gifts: Recognize someone’s achievements or milestones with an honor gift. We will send a letter to your honoree notifying them of your gift. (Gift amounts are not disclosed to the recipient).

How to Give

  • Online: Make your gift online by visiting our Memorial Gift Form or our Honor Gift Form.
  • By Mail:
    The Helen Kate Furness Free Library
    100 N. Providence Rd

    Please indicate whether the gift is in memory or in honor of someone, and include the name and address of the person to notify.

Matching Gifts

If you are a library donor, now is the perfect time to check with your employer about matching gifts. This simple benefit can be impactful, immediately translating to supplies for a children’s program or a few more books the library can purchase to lend to the community. Many companies provide matching gifts as a type of philanthropy in which they match your charitable contributions.  Sometimes this benefit even extends to charitable donations made by spouses or retirees.  Many companies also provide a charitable donation to your nonprofit of choice for just volunteering a couple hours and logging it in the company’s system of record. Essentially, if your donation or hours volunteered qualifies for your employer’s charity giving program, your company will send an additional donation to the Library. Please contact your company to inquire further details as programs vary.
