HOSTING A FUNDRAISER
Thank you for your interest in planning a fundraising event or activity in support of your Library! A fundraiser is an event or activity planned and executed by an individual or organization for the purpose of raising funds for the Vancouver Public Library Foundation.
Some ideas for your fundraiser:
- Peer-to-peer (Friends-Asking-Friends)
- Used book sale
- Paint night
- Write-a-thon/knit-a-thon/walk-a-thon etc.
- Book club/reading challenge
- Birthday party (or gifts in lieu)
- Golf tournament
No matter what type or size of event you choose to organize, every gift makes a difference to your Library and its programs, collections, services and spaces. The funds you raise can be designated to the Library’s area of greatest need, or to a priority area of your choice.
We would love to hear what you are planning before your events begins, and to help ensure your amazing idea is successful!
