Donate by Check

Please drop your check off at the Friends Bookstore at the Civic Center Library. If you prefer to donate by mail, you may send your donation to: Friends of the Livermore Public Library, PO Box 2483, Livermore, CA 94551.

Direct Donation via Qualified Charitable Distribution

Qualified Charitable Donations are a way to avoid income taxes that you would normally pay on Required Minimum Distributions from an IRA, even if you don’t itemize. To take advantage of this tax benefit your donation must request the trustee or custodian of your IRA to send your donation directly to FOLL at Friends of the Livermore Public Library, PO Box 2483, Livermore, CA 94551.

Employer Grants

Many employers have programs for making grants to charities that their employees care about. Employers of FOLL volunteers, such as Allstate and Wells Fargo, have made significant contributions to FOLL.

Donate Through Employer Giving Programs

Make one-time or monthly donations to FOLL through your employer’s giving program. Local employers with such programs include LLNL, Workday, PG&E and Wells Fargo.

Employer Match Programs

Some employers will match the donation that an employee gives to their charity. To enhance your donation amount, consider this special matching program if available.

Planned Giving

Planned giving is a way to support FOLL that enable individuals to make larger gifts than they could make from ordinary income. Some gift plans use estate and tax planning to provide for charity and heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate. Talk with your financial adviser about how to include FOLL in your long-term gift planning.
