REMEMBER US IN YOUR WILL
Leave a legacy of growth, learning and transformation with a gift in your Will to the Vancouver Public Library Foundation. You can have a lasting impact on millions of people each year, who because of you, will have a place to discover, create, and share ideas.
Legacy gifts allow you to take full advantage of tax considerations and minimize the impact on your family’s security and lifestyle, while maximizing the impact of your philanthropy.
How to Leave a legacy
Please let us know if you would like additional information on making a gift in your Will, or if you have any questions whatsoever.
No matter the size of your gift, YOU can profoundly impact the future for everyone who uses the library
$5,000
Can nurture meaningful community connections, literacy support and a nurturing environment to vulnerable moms and their young babies in programs like Mother Goose for 8 months.

Would enable dads and male caregivers to build strong relationships with their babies, and help to develop crucial pre-literacy skills through 48 sessions of programs like Man in the Moon.
