The Portland Public Library is a nonprofit organization funded
through public and private contributions. Funding for Library operations
(staffing, heat, electricity, maintenance, etc.) comes primarily from
the City of Portland, with additional support from the State
of Maine and Cumberland County. All book and materials acquisitions,
information technologies as well as the many free
public programs each year are funded through private donations from individuals, corporations,
businesses and foundations.
The Portland Public
Library accepts gifts of cash,
stocks, personal bequests, and
in-kind goods and services. Your gift can be unrestricted (used for
collection development or general operations) or can be restricted to a
particular branch, collection or
purpose within the Library. The Development Department staff is available to assist you in
making the kind of gift most appropriate for your needs and
circumstances. Contact Rachael
Weyand, Development & External Relations Manager by email
or call 207-871-1700 ext. 759.
Many of our Library patrons
and friends choose to support the development of our Library resources with
a gift to the Annual Fund and other contributions each year. There are several
gift options available to you (see list below).
Ways of
Giving
Annual Fund
Contributions to the Library's Annual Fund are used to
purchase books, reference materials, audiovisual materials and computerized
information resources for
use by our patrons. Beginning
July 1 of each year, the Annual Campaign works to raise funds to
purchase books and materials for the Library. It is imperative
that the Library raise these funds each year. Donate
Online Now to the 2012-2013 Annual Fund.
