Invest in our Endowment Fund
A gift that grows
Guelph Public Library’s Charitable Endowment Fund, both managed by The Guelph Community Foundation, offer lasting, sustainable ways to support our community’s future.
When you give to our Endowment Fund:
- Your original gift (the principal) remains intact
- The interest earned supports the Library year after year
- You help build a sustainable future for generations of Guelphites
No gift is too small. Every contribution is professionally invested, allowing it to grow over time and increase the annual support available to the Library.
Two Ways to Support the Library Through Endowment
Guelph Public Library Endowment Fund
Support the Library’s highest priorities - today and in the future. Gifts to the General Endowment Fund provide flexible funding that can be directed where it is needed most, helping GPL respond to evolving community needs, enhance collections and programs, and invest in innovative services.
Friends of the Guelph Public Library Fund for Children and Youth
The Friends of the Guelph Public Library steward a dedicated Endowment Fund that reflects their long-standing commitment to GPL. This fund celebrates their decades of commitment, advocacy, and enthusiasm for GPL - especially through beloved initiatives like the Annual Giant Book Sale. This fund provides sustained support for programs, services, and initiatives that enrich the lives of children and youth across our community.
To donate to either fund, contact The Guelph Community Foundation, Guelph Public Library's Development Officer, or make your gift online today.
Select ‘Guelph Public Library Fund’ when making your gift.
