We must plan for the long-term funding needs. This will assure we have the financial stability to maintain our standard of excellence in our collections and special projects. Endowment The Endowment creates a permanent fund to meet specific needs of the Library. The principal of the Endowment fund will be invested to grow over time while the income it produces will be used to support the special collections and projects of the Library. Donors might choose to dedicate a gift to the memory of an honored friend, relative or co-worker.
Gifts can also honor special people, events or occasions.
Births, weddings, anniversaries, a friend's new job, promotion or retirement are all great opportunities for donations. Giving A gift to the Endowment in any amount is a gift of knowledge. The Library Endowment Board can assist you in structuring your gift so it is meaningful and rewarding both for you and the Athens-Clarke County Library. Your participation in the Endowment Fund program can begin through outright gifts of cash, securities, real estate and other property, in one lump sum or contributed over time. A program of planned giving through documented bequests, trusts, annuities, and life insurance is also available.
