Founders Society

Founders Society MembershipAccording to the by laws and policies established in 1992 when The Library Foundation was first organized, a Founders Society may be maintained under the auspices of the Board of Directors for the purposes of showing appreciation, securing additional gifts for special projects, and recruiting future Founders and for enhancing the mission of The Library Foundation of Martin County.

In order to become a member of The Founders Society, a donor must contribute or pledge a cumulative gift of $10,000 or more in money, securities or real or personal property. The gift may be made as a one-time contribution or may be paid annually over a period not to exceed five years.

You may have shown generous support for The Library Foundation of Martin County through your previous contributions. These contributions will count toward your cumulative gift of $10,000 or more. For a summary of your giving history, please contact The Library Foundation office at (772) 221-1409.

All Founders are Life Members and are on the invitation list for all special events, including the annual Founders Society event.
