Gifts to Your Library Your gift to the library will make a big difference in what we can offer to the community. We're challenging 100% of the community to give! Every gift - no matter the size - makes a difference. Money will be used for comfortable seating, equipment, A/V systems, display units and more. Our overall fundraising goal is $60,000.00 and we can't reach it without your help! Remember,
gifts to the library are tax deductible.
Ways to Give: Pledged Gifts: Want to make your gift over time? No problem. Pledge a total amount to give to the Library and choose a schedule of when you will make installments towards the gift. Give us $5,000.00 - $2,500.00 in 2009 and $2,500.00 in 2010. Or give us $400.00 by giving $100.00 in January, April, August and November of 2010. Whatever your budget, we can accommodate you. Please contact Lesley Kimball, Library Director (772-4346, or e-mail director@WigginML.org) or Bruce, Capital Campaign Chair and Library Trustee (775-7415, or e-mail).
General Gifts: Write a check for any amount to the Wiggin Memorial Library, and include in the memo portion "Capital Campaign". Send checks to: Wiggin Memorial Library, Fundraising Committee, 10 Bunker Hill Ave., Stratham, NH 03885. We will send you a letter with our tax status information for your accounting purposes.
Sponsor Gifts: Want to sponsor something specific in the Library? A part of the collection? Or, a room or a space? We can work with you to make that happen in a way that is meaningful for you. Please contact Lesley Kimball, Library Director (772-4346, or e-mail director@WigginML.org) or Bruce, Capital Campaign Chair and Library Trustee (775-7415, or e-mail).
Matching Gifts: Many companies offer matching gift opportunities to their employees. Ask your Human Resources department if you can participate in such a program. Matching gift programs mean that any amount that you donate to the Library will be matched by your company. If you give the Library $250.00, the Library will receive a total of $500.00. Usually all that is required is a short form.
Capital Gifts: If you or your business have the means to make a large capital gift, we will be happy to work with you to design recognition that will benefit you or your business as well as the Library's future. Please contact Bruce Cotter, Capital Campaign Chair and Library Trustee (775-7415, or e-mail) to discuss a plan that will work for you. |
