Friends & Foundation: Expanding Resources

The Clearview Library District Friends & Foundation (the Foundation) helps further the library’s mission—Cultivate curiosity. Enlighten the mind. Strengthen the community—by providing additional financial support that sustains and expands services to our area’s diverse and growing population.

To that end, the Foundation's Endowment Fund helps meet existing needs that are beyond the library's current operating budgets and generates new income to increase offerings to patrons throughout the community. For example, each year, a small percentage of funds goes to short-term projects, such as the Read and Grow Program.

Thinking of Giving?

The Foundation’s 501(c) (3) nonprofit, tax-exempt status is a vehicle for receiving tax-deductible contributions. You can designate your gift as being for a specific purpose or for general use and for either immediate or deferred use. Gifts include the following:

• Cash
• Tangible personal property
• Securities
• Real estate
• Retirement plan assets
• CDs and insurance policies
• Vehicle donation*

Please consider the form of your gift carefully; you may want to consult with your attorney or accountant before making your contribution.

* To find out how to donate a used vehicle, contact Louis Beard at louisbeard@comcast.net or 970.686.2310.

Getting Involved

Volunteers will find a home with the Friends & Foundation. Whether it’s planning a reception for the guest author talk or working the beer tent at Windsor’s Summer Concert Series, we offer both short-and long-term volunteer opportunities. Or, for a longer three-year term, consider applying to become a Friends & Foundation board member and work side-by-side with others who are excited about our future.

To learn more about these volunteer opportunities, contact Joyce Johnson at 970.686.7836 or joyceejohnson100@Q.com.
