An endowment gift to the Waterford Public Library today provides a brighter picture for our future. When you make a donation to an endowment, you give a gift with both immediate and long-term benefits.<\/p>\n
Endowment donations are invested. A portion of the annual income from the investment is used to address immediate needs at the Waterford Public Library. The remaining funds are reinvested to ensure indefinite support.<\/p>\n

Longtime the Waterford Public Library supporters Charlie and Susan have two goals: First, they want to make sure the Waterford Public Library continues to receive support after they are gone. Second, they want to create a lasting legacy for Charlie\u2019s parents.<\/p>\n
Charlie and Susan make a $25,000 donation to the Waterford Public Library, which we invest, and each year, a portion of the income from the invested money will be used to support our mission in honor of Charlie\u2019s parents. Plus, Charlie and Susan qualify for a federal income tax charitable deduction on their taxes.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Jost||||||||” header_font_size=”45px” header_line_height=”1.8em” header_2_font=”Jost|600|||||||” header_2_font_size=”23px” header_2_line_height=”1.5em” header_3_font=”Jost|600|||||||” header_3_line_height=”1.5em” custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px|false|false” border_radii=”on|1px|1px|1px|1px” border_width_all=”1px” border_color_all=”gcid-80ae5d65-6159-40fc-98b8-3b920b6d72e4″ global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-80ae5d65-6159-40fc-98b8-3b920b6d72e4%22:%91%22border_color_all%22%93}”]<\/p>\n
