Endowed Funds
We would like to express our ongoing gratitude to the library benefactors who have had the forethought to provide permanent funds for the purchase of library materials. While this list includes the names of donors who have made significant gifts, there are countless thousands who have also contributed to the Libraries with annual gifts.
Please note that named permanent endowment funds may be established with gifts of at least $25,000. Individuals may also make contributions of any amount to an existing fund. For more information, please contact our Director of Development at 303-492-7511 or send an email to us by clicking here.
