OTHER DONATION POSSIBILITIES
A Memorial or Honorarium. A thoughtful way of paying tribute to a loved one or associate. When you make a donation, you can reference the honoree or memorial name and provide an address if you would like the family to receive notification of your gift. We will also send you an acknowledgment of your donation.
Provide a Foundation or Corporate Grant. If your employer, business or foundation has a matching gift program or a charitable grant program, contact us to work with you to meet the requirements for donation.
Consider a Planned Gift or Bequest. The Library Foundation was established thanks to a major legacy donation. This is one of the simplest ways to make a future gift. We encourage you to contact your professional tax advisor as to how best to structure a gift for your needs.
Consider an IRA Charitable Rollover. In late 2015, the President signed into law the permanent authorization of the IRA charitable rollover. The provision allows individuals age 70½ or older to make tax-free gifts totaling up to $100,000 from a traditional IRA account directly to qualified charities. While you cannot claim a charitable deduction for IRA gifts, this distribution from your IRA counts towards your minimum required distribution for the account and does NOT trigger income tax for you. It is a tax-free transfer from the IRA account directly to a charitable organization.
Gavin Schmidt Video Game Memorial Campaign
Good gaming communities, like libraries, create spaces where people form social connections, build community, and have fun learning together. Gavin Schmidt was a passionate player and a cherished member of our community. He passed away unexpectedly in 2024.
The Gavin 454 collection was started by a group of community supporters who wanted to continue to support safe spaces, community mental health, and gaming together. The goal of the campaign was to create a free and welcoming gaming area within the Mount Vernon Library Commons teen room. Now that space has been created, and you’ll see teens gaming in the afternoon and early evening each day. Gavin’s gamer legacy lives on — to date more than 1,000 gamers have used the Gavin Schmidt gaming area of the library.
