Ways to Give

Businesses, organizations, and residents across Marlborough have demonstrated their support for the Marlborough Public Library by generously contributing to the MPL Foundation. The Foundation works closely with the Library Director and Library Board of Trustees to ensure the library achieves its mission.  

There are many ways to help, including: 

Make a One-time Gift or Pledge Over Time
Donate a one-time gift in any amount, or maximize your impact (and ease the impact on your budget) with a sizable gift that is donated over a period of months or even years. You can do that right now by visiting our Online Donation Page.

Naming Opportunities
High visibility, high traffic rooms and areas the library can be permanently recognized to memorialize loved ones, honor an individual, family, or organization, or demonstrate the commitment your business has to the community. 

Memorial and Tribute Gifts
A Memorial Gift to the library is a lasting way to remember a loved one. A Tribute Gift is a thoughtful way to celebrate a birthday, a special event, honor a graduate, express sympathy, or even commemorate an anniversary. 

Gifts of Stock and Other Securities
Donating stocks and other securities benefits the library while offering considerable tax benefits for donors. 

Bequests and Other Planned Giving
Including the Marlborough Public Library Foundation in your estate planning is a wonderful way to make an impact for the library while taking advantage of federal and state tax laws. Leaving a bequest provides an enduring gift that will impact generations to come. You can simply add an amendment to your will or living trust.
