HELP THE LIBRARY ENRICH PORTLAND, CONTRIBUTE TO THE PORTLAND LIBRARY ENDOWMENT FUND TODAY!

The Endowment Fund is used for high priority projects that are unable to be supported through the town’s operating budget. Contributions can be made through direct donations or through a publicly acknowledged bequest. Your gift to the Library’s Endowment Fund is a lasting legacy and your name will be featured on our Donor Recognition Tree.

​

The color leaves on the tree represent donations of:

​

​

  • $100-249 (green)

  • $250 -499 (bronze)

  • $500-999 (silver) 

  • $1,000 plus (gold)

​

​

 

Send a donation along with a filled out copy of the form linked here to the Director’s attention. You may make the check payable to Portland Library Endowment. A Library Board member will respond to you. Please note that some time will need to be allowed for the leaf inscriptions to be processed.
