Help the library now and in the future
A gift in your will or estate plan helps the library and our community for generations to come.
Getting Started
Planned gifts are just that, gifts that take more planning than a typical donation. From a line in your will to designating a beneficiary on your life insurance, they let you support what you care about while keeping control and flexibility. Let's get started!
What is a Bequest?
A bequest is a gift you leave in your will or revocable living trust. You can leave cash or investments and these gifts go to the library after you pass away.
What is the “right” gift?
Choosing the right gift depends on your personal and family goals. This could range from getting tax benefits to supporting a specific library program.
Through the library’s partnership with Cristo Rey Columbus High School, Hawa became an intern in the library’s Development office.

These connections led to her current internship with a law firm.
