Donor Recognition Policy

The Foundation's policy is to recognize major contributions in a manner most directly related to the nature of the contribution. Recognition levels reflect cumulative giving totals. Pledges of $5,000 or more may be paid over 5 years and will be recognized upon receipt of the signed pledge and first payment.

  • All donors will be listed in the Annual Report and the appropriate issue of the Foundation Newsletter, and will receive invitations to special events.
  • Those who make memorial/honor/tribute gifts will be honored on the Library web-site.
  • Those who make designated gifts toward the purchase of tangible items will be recognized with a plaque or plate on the item once it is placed within the Library.
  • Those who make gifts to the Perpetual Book Fund Endowment will be recognized by having their name engraved on the Perpetual Book Endowment plaque on the second floor of the Library.
  • Donors to the Giving Tree will have their name, or their designee’s name, engraved on the appropriate leaf and displayed on the Giving Tree in the Lobby.
The Foundation honors any request from a donor for anonymity.
