Info

The Blair Public Library Foundation is a charitable, non-profit organization whose goal is to enhance the services, offerings and facilities of the Blair Public Library beyond the budgetary constraints of local government. The Foundation does so by providing a means for people who have a special affinity for the library to contribute funds toward projects through gifts, estates and fundraising activities. Gifts of any size are accepted. Established in 2002 as a recognized 501(c)3 corporation, the Foundation allows donors to receive the appropriate tax benefits for those gifts the Foundation receives. As a Foundation, we also encourage and accept memorial gifts for the Library which may be designated to purchase additional books or put toward other special projects. The Foundation is actively involved in securing funds for future projects to benefit the Blair Public Library. Such projects may include new shelving, books, equipment, circulating materials, and even possible new or expanded facilities. If you wish to learn how you can make gifts to the Blair Public Library through the Foundation, please call the library at (402) 426-3617 or send an e-mail to foundation@blairpubliclibrary.com. To include the Library in your estate planning, be sure to consult your accountant, financial advisor, and your attorney.
