How You Can Make a Difference:

Make a tax-deductible donation to the Foundation: It’s easy to mail a donation. Make the check out to Stanislaus Library Foundation and mail it to the Stanislaus County Library Foundation, PO Box 4862, Modesto, CA 95352-4862. Be sure to include your name, phone number, and address.  Please download the Donate Form, fill it out & include it with your check.

The Stanislaus County Library provides many services for our citizens. However, even with a voter-approved 1/8th cent sales tax, the library budget is not able to provide for those enrichment programs that are so important in building a healthy community.

The Foundation is here to bridge this funding gap. Our focus: programs that support literacy and youth. Our long term-goal is to build a self-sustaining endowment fund to ensure future programs, while continuing to support the library’s current needs.

Your gift, whether in dollars, time, or a service, is important.
