Donating with a Purpose

If you have a particular way you would like your donation to be used, please let us know. Here are some ways you could request your contribution be spent:

Memorial Gifts

The Provo City Library invites you to honor an event, an achievement, or the memory of someone special. You may give monetary donations for the collection, and the library staff will work with you to select appropriate titles to both honor someone and meet the library's collection needs. Proper acknowledgement will be sent, and a book plate will be displayed in the titles selected.

Planned Gifts and Bequests

When planning your estate, consider leaving a gift in your will or living trust for the nonprofit or charitable organizations (like the Provo City Library) that made a difference in your life. There are a variety of ways you can make a charitable planned gift. Your estate attorney, accountant, or other financial advisor can provide you with more details on the types of gifts and the tangible benefits they offer. Imagine the positive impact on our community if everyone made a donation to a favorite nonprofit organization.

Sponsor a Program or Event
