Northville District Library Endowment Fund
Give. Inspire. Grow.

Your gift to the Northville District Library Endowment Fund helps ensure our future.

The Northville District Library Endowment Fund was established in 2001 under the auspices of the Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan. Its mission is to provide a permanent source of income to ensure continued excellence in the programs and services of the Northville District Library. The Fund has grown to over $400,000 since it's inception. An endowment is the perfect way to make a difference during your lifetime and, at the same time, provide a gift that lasts forever. Your contribution is pooled with others and invested to earn income for the Library.

Contributions of all sizes are welcome and meaningful as they will grow over time, enabling the endowment to become an increasingly significant source of enhancement funding for the Library. Your gift will help the Library expand and diversify its collections, invest in new technologies, and provide a wide range of programs that appeal to all ages and backgrounds. It will ensure the Library's future as a vibrant, inviting place for all members of the community.

The Library Giving Tree honors our generous donors for their support of the Northville District Library. Located in the Library entryway, the Library Giving Tree recognizes those individuals or groups who have made gifts in support of the Library. The gifts may be to the Library directly, to the Endowment Fund, or to the Friends of the Library. Click to read more about how you can be acknowledged with a leaf or rock on the Library Giving Tree.

The Giving Tree was made possible in part by a large donation from the Friends of the Library.
