Endowment
Plan
The Boards of Trustees of the
Frankfort Community Public Library and Clinton County Contractual Public
Library have established an Endowment fund to enhance library services and
provide cultural activities to the growing population of Frankfort and
Clinton County. Our library budget is being squeezed by a
combination of inflation and the public's desire for more sophisticated
and expensive services such as the Internet, and computer and
communications technology. We will need to provide an adequate
library building in Michigantown and maintain the new Mulberry and
Rossville Libraries. In order to provide for the future, we are
attempting to raise an Endowment fund of $6,000,000. The interest
would be used to supplement the tax-supported budgets of the Frankfort and
Clinton County Libraries in six project areas:
- Children's Services
- Adult Services
- Genealogy and Local History
- Buildings and Grounds
- The Arts
- Trustee Unrestricted Fund
How to
Give
Please consider making a gift to the Library
Endowment Fund. You can provide for your family, friends, and the
library with careful planning. A will can be drawn to leave money,
securities or property to the library in the event that all heirs are
deceased at the time the will is probated. Mary Gorham Herrick left
the library the "rest and residue of my estate" after making specific
bequests to relatives and charitable organizations. Gifts or
bequests may be made in memory of a relative or friend and may be
designated toward any of the five project areas or the the Trustee
Unrestricted Fund.
The Library may also be named as the
beneficiary of an insurance policy. Gifts to the library are tax
deductible under state and federal income tax laws. Funds given
directly to the library may only be invested in bank certificates of
deposits or United States Treasury Bills. We may receive stocks and
bonds and may hold onto them, but we cannot purchase them.
Also appreciated securities of property may
sometimes by donated to tax-deductible charities in such a way that the
heirs actually receive a financial gain because of decreased state and
federal inheritance taxes. We recently received a bequest of
$120.000 that the heirs said would have gone to taxes if not to the
library. We would suggest you consult your attorney, trust officer,
or a Certified Public Accountant for tax implications of a charitable
gift.
Gifts or bequests may be made directly to the
Frankfort Community Public Library's Endowment Fund, the Clinton County
Contractual Public Library's Endowment Fund, or the Clinton County Community
Foundation Endowment Fund.
