Receding stacks of books

The Library Legacy Fund is professionally managed by the Hamilton Community Foundation. A donor-driven organization with over $80 million in assets, the Hamilton Community Foundation has managed endowed philanthropic gifts to community agencies since 1954. Agencies benefit from reduced overhead costs and the investment of larger sums of money.

How the Fund is Administered and Managed

This Fund is administered and managed by the Hamilton Community Foundation on behalf of the Hamilton Public Library. Only the investment income generated by the Library Legacy Fund will be used for the enhancement of library services. Your principal investment will continue to grow and generate further investment income each year. The Library Board allocates the annual income for the enhancement of library services in accordance with the wishes of each donor. Library or Foundation staff will work together with you, your lawyer, accountant, life insurance agent or financial planner to establish which type of donation to the Hamilton Public Library best meets your goals.

For more Information, contact the Hamilton Community Foundation at 905-523-5600.
