The Cloquet Shaw Memorial Library Foundation, Inc

The Cloquet Shaw Memorial Public Library Foundation, Inc. is a
501(c)3 non-profit, tax-exempt foundation organized for the purpose of improving the library services of the Cloquet Public Library. Gifts of $250 or more are acknowledged on a plaque in the library. There are many ways in which you may contribute to the Cloquet Public Library. Please contact Mary Lukkarila at the library for more information.

Planned gifts make a difference to the library. A planned gift is just that; it is considered and planned for by the donor during his/her lifetime to accommodate charitable giving interest as well as receive tax benefits.
There are several ways to make a planned gift:
• Gifts made through a will or trust agreement
• Gifting an IRA
• Gift Annuity
• Gift of a remainder interest in a personal residence
Most people consult with an attorney or a financial planner to facilitate making these gifts. One of the most common ways to leave a planned charitable gift to the foundation is through a will or trust.

Why consider planned giving? There are as many motivations for a person’s charitable giving as there are people; giving of your resources and time to help others is one of the most personal acts you can make. But while our giving stories are all unique, they likely share one or more of the following motivations:
• To help fulfill your life’s goals and passions
• To feel a sense of value and satisfaction
• To leave a lasting imprint on society while making a significant difference
• To unite family members around a purposeful mission
• To honor or memorialize a friend or loved one
• To give something back to a community
• To fulfill a responsibility or desire to be a leader in a community
• To connect with others who share our interests and passions
• To benefit from tax advantages
•˜To express gratitude or to say "thank you"

Please consider including the Cloquet Shaw Memorial Public Library Foundation, Inc. in your consideration of a planned charitable gift.
