Planned Giving
Planned giving is an effective way to give back to the Quincy community and to insure Library services for future generations. The MWB/QPL Foundation accepts bequests, beneficiary designations, gifts of life insurance, and Payable on Death provisions. Planned giving may have positive tax implications for the donor. Donors should consult an accountant or tax attorney for the most effective way to make a contribution.
Please call Kathleen Helsabeck at 217-223-1309, ext. 204 to make a donation or to get more information.

Your gift of cash, bequest, or endowments may be made in honor of or in memory of another person. Simply tell us who you are honoring when you make your donation.

Purchasing an engraved brick for the Library’s Donor Recognition Garden on the Library’s north lawn is another way to honor a loved one. To order a commemorative brick, call Kim Akers, 223-1309, ext. 201.
