Endowment Gifts

Endowment gifts are a wonderful way to create a legacy. Endowed funds are invested strategically to preserve their original value and generate income, and are used to support the Library’s work and the Endowment's purpose for current and future generations.

You can establish a Named Endowment Fund, either for unrestricted or for designated purposes, with a donation of $5,000 or more. You can make an additional donation of any amount to an existing endowment fund - simply send a check, and specify the name of the endowment fund. For more information, please contact Mary Ellen Ringo, the Foundation's Executive Director, at meringo@carylibraryfoundation.org.
