Helping Sturgis Library for Generations to Come
For all of us, Sturgis Library is a special place. For nearly two centuries, the Library has been sustained by the generosity of those who value its vital role. As a private, independent public library, Sturgis relies on the support of individuals like you who believe in the lasting importance of free access to knowledge, culture, and connection.
What is Planned Giving?
In addition to your very valuable annual fund donations, you can include Sturgis Library in your long-term financial or estate plans. Planned gifts come in may forms, such as bequests in a will or donations of stocks, real estate, or other assets. Designating the Library as a beneficiary may offer future tax advantages while allowing you to make a deeper, more enduring impact than annual giving alone.
How Planned Giving Benefits You and Sturgis Library
- A lasting expression of your commitment to the Library
- Potential savings on gift and estate taxes
- Possible reduction or elimination of capital gains taxes
- The satisfaction of knowing you are helping secure the Library’s future
We recommend consulting with your financial and legal advisors as you consider making a planned gift to Sturgis Library. You can make or change your plans at any time.
Sturgis Library is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, EIN 04-2318944.
