On National Philanthropy Day, we take a moment to reflect on the incredible contributions made by those who believe in the power of giving. Today, we celebrate you—our donors, supporters, and partners—who play an essential role in the work of the Galesburg Public Library Foundation. Without you, the support we give to the Galesburg Public Library for programs, resources, and opportunities simply wouldn't be possible.

Philanthropy is not just about giving money—it’s about making a meaningful impact. Your generosity fuels our mission to support and enhance the resources and services of the Galesburg Public Library. From educational programs to innovative technology, your support touches every part of the library’s offerings.

The Power of Giving

Each gift, whether large or small, contributes to the library’s ability to reach more people and provide them with the tools and knowledge to succeed. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we are able to fund initiatives that provide:

  • Access to learning resources: Your contributions help fund the Skills and Technology Labs, reading programs, and educational tools that support individuals of all ages.

  • Community engagement opportunities: From youth programs to adult education, your donations enable us to offer a variety of programs that foster growth and connection within our community.

  • Innovative services and spaces: Whether it’s supporting spaces for collaboration or funding materials for patrons with unique needs, your support ensures the library remains an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.

Together, We Make a Difference

National Philanthropy Day is not just about recognizing the work of nonprofits—it’s about acknowledging the collective effort of a community coming together to support something bigger than itself. Your belief in the library’s mission and your generosity create ripple effects that inspire others to give, volunteer, and support causes that matter.

As we celebrate this special day, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your continued partnership. The Galesburg Public Library Foundation is proud to be a part of a community where philanthropy thrives, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you.

Thank you for being the driving force behind our success. Your support truly makes a difference—and we are incredibly grateful for all that you do.
