SEND A CHECK
Complete this form to make a gift via check to the following address: RFPL Foundation, 735 Lathrop Avenue, River Forest, IL 60305. PURCHASE A GARDEN PLAQUE As you walk through the Anne T. Smedinghoff Memorial Garden, do you ever stop to read the bronze plaques in the seat wall? An unassuming feature of the garden, each plaque tells a story paying tribute to someone special. They include children, parents, community and library leaders, teachers and more. You’ll find both familiar names and strangers you’ll wish you knew. Funds from plaque sales help the RFPL Foundation maintain the beauty of the garden and contribute to enhancing RFPL for future generations. Several sizes and shapes are available with prices ranging from $1,500 to 2,500. Is there a tribute story you’d like to add to the garden collection? Contact us at [email protected] for more information. |
DONATE SECURITIES
Donating appreciated securities is easy to execute and benefits both you and the Foundation. When giving stock that has appreciated more than one year, you may claim the full current value as a donation and eliminate the capital gains tax you would owe if you sold the stock and donated the proceeds in cash. Contact us at [email protected] for simple instructions on donating securities.
