Planned Gifts
Wills/Bequests – Endowments – Trusts
Many of our most meaningful contributions to the library were made possible by bequests, or legacy gifts. When you leave a gift in your estate plan to the Library Foundation, it will help support the public library for many years and will give you the knowledge that you will help those in the future.
Help ensure a bright future for the Library and the people of Stevens County by naming the Libraries of Stevens County Foundation as a beneficiary in your will, life insurance policy or other estate plan. Your financial planner, tax or estate planning professional can explain the options including ways to make a gift while receiving some tax benefits or even providing you with income during your lifetime.
To ensure that your gift reverts to the Libraries of Stevens County Foundation, we suggest the following wording in your will or trust documents:
“I devise to (or upon the Dissolution of this Trust) (Or make as Beneficiary) The Libraries of Stevens County Foundation, an Washington non-profit corporation, the sum of $_ (or the _% of the Estate) (or all the rest, residue and remainder of my Estate or Trust) to be used for carrying out its missions.”
Sponsorships/Partnerships
With many new challenges in our community, the Foundation has sought partnerships to enhance library services that increase access to and engagement with our libraries. Provide your company with positive exposure associated with library programs. Give us a call at 509-233-9621
