Goals of the Library Legacy Campaign:
To establish endowments that will fund, in perpetuity, Orange Public Library’s collection of books, music, DVD’s, technology, and facility needs.
MAJOR DONORS = MAJOR IMPACT
In addition to Annual Fund giving, you may make a major contribution to the Orange Public Library Foundation for a specified project at the library. The Foundation Board will maintain and safeguard your contribution and use it for the project you have specified at the appropriate time. Recognition for the contribution will be provided according to your wishes and the policies of the Foundation Board.
TAX BENEFITS
Donations to the Orange Public Library Foundation may include appreciated stocks, bonds, or real estate. Through the use of charitable remainder trusts and other deferred giving options, you may also be able to enjoy income from donated property during your lifetime while reducing income and estate taxes. The Orange Public Library Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, and therefore gifts and donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible in accordance with and subject to applicable tax law. Please check with your tax professional.

Ways to Help Leave a Lasting Legacy:
Through your gift to the Orange Public Library Foundation, you may honor a family member or friend by endowment of a major library project or through “naming opportunities” at the Orange Public Library & History Center. Your contribution will be tailored to match your intentions with the community’s library needs.
The Foundation offers you an excellent opportunity to help the community, while giving you the satisfaction of supporting a worthwhile and well-respected institution. As an independent, non-profit corporation, the Foundation can assure you that your wishes will receive the greatest respect and that your donation will be managed in a fiscally responsible manner.
A Memorial Fund is a lasting tribute intended to support specified library activities for years to come. The Foundation Board will invest your substantial donation and disburse the revenue for the purpose you direct at the inception of the endowment. Recognition will be provided according to your wishes and the policies of the Foundation Board.
Pooled Endowment Funds generate interest which is utilized to support key Orange Public Library initiatives for purchase and preservation of books and materials, children's programming, and technology. A donation of $5,000 or more sets up an individually named account that is collectively invested in perpetuity. Two such accounts already exist: One for local history, and the other for new library books and other materials.
Public-Use Computers may be supported for $2,500 apiece, with the donor recognized by name on a special wall plaque.
Furniture - tables and chairs throughout the libraries - may be named for $750 to $5,000 apiece, depending on the item. The donor will be recognized by name on a special wall plaque.
Local History Display Cases (4) in the Lobby of the new Orange Public Library & History Center are available for permanent naming recognition at $20,000 apiece. These walnut display cases contain rotating exhibits about Orange's unique history.
Adopt-A-Stack Endowments provide more books, music, and/or DVDs in the subject area of the donor's greatest interest. A $25,000 contribution (payable over several years if desired) is recognized with the donor's name on a plaque on a library bookcase.
Naming opportunities are available at the flagship Orange Public Library & History Center (Main Library) for major areas within that building. Call us at 714.288.2470 for more information.
