Make a Lasting Impact with Your Gift
The Easthampton Public Library relies on the generosity of individuals and families like yours. When you donate, your gift supports two essential funds: the Annual Fund and the Capital Campaign. Whether you make a one-time donation or set up a recurring gift, your contribution ensures that the library continues to serve as a vital resource for the community, providing educational programs, modern facilities, and welcoming spaces.
How Your Gift Makes a Difference
Your donation can be directed to:
- The Annual Fund
This fund supports the day-to-day operations of the library, including staffing, public programming, and maintaining essential services. Contributions to the Annual Fund help ensure that the library can continue offering valuable resources to the community each year, including events, workshops, and general upkeep. It’s the foundation of the library’s operations and critical for sustaining its core functions. - The Capital Campaign Fund
This fund is focused on the library’s long-term growth and physical expansion, particularly the renovation of the 52 Main Street Annex. Donations to this fund help finance major improvements, creating new spaces for community events, meetings, and educational programs. The Capital Campaign ensures the library can evolve and meet the future needs of Easthampton residents.
