Support · Legacy giving
For a horizon longer than one edition.
Some neighbors think in decades. A few options for donors planning further out — each one handled personally.
Estate gifts
A bequest in a will or trust. We can supply suggested language for your attorney.
Memorial gifts
In memory of a neighbor, mentor, or family member. The gift can fund a named civic handbook line.
Named funds
A named fund underwrites a specific publishing line — e.g. a state edition, a translation, or a long-running scenario.
Endowment
A perpetual fund whose income keeps the library free. The principal is preserved; only investment income is spent.
Editorial firewall
Donors at every level have no editorial control. The firewall is binding and public — read the Sponsor Criteria.
