Annual Fund Drive

Each fall, the Abington Community Library conducts an Annual Fund Drive to help raise the funds needed to continue to provide excellent service to its patrons and invest in improvements to the facility, equipment and collections. Financial donations of any size help make that possible. If you’d like to contribute to this effort, please bring or mail your check to the library. Although the formal fund drive occurs in the fall, donations are accepted with appreciation throughout the year. Please let us know if we may add your name to future Annual Fund Drive mailings. You may also donate online right now.

Endowment Fund

The Library also has an Endowment Fund, grown over the years through generous contributions by patrons and in memory of others. The director can talk to you about this option, a plan that will use your donation in many ways for years to come.

Employer-sponsored Matching Gifts

Many businesses in our area generously assist employees who wish to donate to their favorite non-profit organizations. Because the Abington Community Library is a 501(cc)(3) organization, it qualifies for matching gift programs. If you’d like to make a financial contribution, ask your employer if a matching gift program is available prior to making your gift.

Gift Book Programs/General Donations

Making a gift book donation is easy! Simply complete a form available at the library. Your gift will be appreciated and enjoyed by many patrons for years to come. A bookplate will be inserted in the front of the book to acknowledge this special gesture. Acknowledgement of your donation will be sent to the designated person as well as a thank you to you. Donating a book to the library is a great way to:

Celebrate the birth of a baby or honor someone who has passed away

Welcome new neighbors or recognize a graduation or a career achievement

Note a milestone, such as a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or bar/bat mitzvah

Memorial and Honorarium Contributions

Memorial or 'in honor of' contributions are always welcome at the Library. Acknowledgement of your donation will be sent to the designated person as well as a thank-you to you. These donations go into our general fund and allow us to provide excellent service to our patrons and invest in improvements to the facility, equipment and collections. You may drop off or send a check to the Library with the following information:

* The name or names of the person being remembered

* The name and address of who you want an acknowledgment of your donation sent to

* How you want the gift acknowledged (who are the donors)

* Your name and address.
