Donor Recognition

The San Mateo Public Library Foundation thanks and honors our friends and supporters by recognizing their contributions to the Library Foundation in various ways, based on the level of gift, the donor’s accumulated gifts through the capital campaign period, and according to the donor’s wishes. All gifts are acknowledged and are tax deductible.

Gift Recognition Opportunities
For gifts of specified amounts, permanent plaques will be placed inside or adjacent to a room or special area acknowledging you, your family, your business or another you wish to recognize. Such gifts enable donors to honor or memorialize individuals and families through permanent association with the Library. They also serve as an inspiration to others in the community to provide similar support.  For more information call 650-522-7860.
