CREATE A LEGACY:
Add the gift of a donation to the Library in your will.
Including the gift of education in your will is a wonderful way to help future generations transform their lives through access to knowledge and learning through new experiences, new access to information, and new opportunities.
Your future gift to the East Side Freedom Library can have a huge impact.
Our work in community is supported by local foundations, labor organizations, and ongoing support from individual donors. These very important gifts make our work possible, but don’t cover the projected future costs of maintaining our historic building as a community asset for years to come. Legacy gifts can go beyond the operating needs of a single year, and help protect and preserve the library and its collections with such things as repairing aging brickwork, updating accessiblity such as improving bathrooms for a range of users, and replacing equipment. Legacy gifts can make this all possible for future users of our materials and space!
HOW TO ADD A GIFT TO ESFL TO YOUR WILL
Request a packet of information or schedule a meeting with a volunteer or staff member. A commitment letter is one way to get started, but each potential gift of this kind is unique and we will be sure to help you craft the right legacy for you.
OUR PROMISE TO YOU:
- We understand your loved ones will always come first.
- We will never put you under any pressure. It is your decision to make in your own time.
- Your will is personal, and we will never ask you to tell us your decision. Although we would love to have the opportunity to say thank you.
- If you choose to include ESFL in your will, we will use your future gift carefully, so it will achieve the greatest impact for the community we work with.
- You can change your mind at any time.
