Ways to Give
There are so many ways to support your library and your community! Learn more below or contact us directly.
We are honored to recognize unrestricted gifts and pledges of $2,500 or more in a calendar year as part of the KCLS Foundation’s annual Leadership Giving Circles. For more information, contact Jessica Carso, jcbhuiyan@kclsfoundation.org
Many donors prefer to make gifts of appreciated stocks, bonds, mutual funds, or exchange-traded funds because it can have a large impact on our mission while maximizing potential tax benefits by avoiding paying tax on capital gains.
We invite local businesses, corporations, and foundations to support the library through sponsorship of programs, events, and special collections.
