The endowment

When you contribute to the Pima Library Foundation’s endowment, you’re investing in the future cultural, civic, and economic vitality of Pima County. Since its inception, the Pima Library Foundation has been dedicated to building an endowment to ensure that resources will always be available to support Library programs and services that would otherwise go unfunded due to budget constraints.

To make your gift to the endowment by credit card, simply note your wishes in the notes field. If giving by check, please note it on the memo line. As always you are welcome to contact us directly for any questions you may have. Please send an email to mail@thepimalibraryfoundation.org.

Planned Giving: Your Gift, Your Legacy

Make a planned gift so that library services and programs you enjoy will be available to others. A bequest provides a lasting gift to the people of Tucson and Pima County and may provide tax benefits to your estate.  

Planned giving can be as simple as adding a bequest statement to your will or trust directing a specified portion of the estate to PLF.  By doing this, you ensure that your favorite library programs continue. 

Other planned gifts may provide life income for the donor while also offering tax benefits.  We are pleased to discuss these options with you so that you and your attorney or financial advisor can select the best option for you.

We are happy to provide you with basic bequest language for your will, an estimate on charitable gift annuity benefits, or other information.   Please contact us by email at mail@thepimalibraryfoundation.org.
