Mesa County Libraries Foundation
Established in 1994, the Mesa County Libraries Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit entity formed exclusively for the purpose of expanding library programs and services. Its primary function is to secure financial and in-kind donations to supplement local tax support.
The Foundation offers donors a reliable vehicle for tax-deductible contributions. Donors have the option to designate gifts to a program, service, or capital improvement. Capital restricted donations of $50 or more qualify for Enterprise Zone state tax credit.
Donations to the Foundation have benefited the 970West Studio, Words on Wheels, the bi-weekly book delivery service, the Literacy Center, Summer Reading, Comic Con, Culture Fest, the Discovery Garden, and more.
Mesa County Libraries Foundation is grateful for the continued support of its generous donors.
