Leave a Legacy to Support Our Libraries

Legacy giving, or planned giving, enables you to make a significant charitable contribution to the SLO County Library Foundation from your estate.

Gifts through wills, trusts, retirement accounts, insurance or other planned giving options often offer tax benefits while giving you the opportunity to leave a lasting impact on our community.

A planned gift is more than just an act of generosity. It’s a declaration of your commitment to our community through our free, open-to-all public libraries.

The SLO County Library Foundation is a tax-exempt non-profit organization founded in 1996 to support our public libraries today, tomorrow and in the future. We have received gifts large and small from your friends and neighbors who believe in making an impact that lasts generations on learning, literacy, creativity, and the cultural life of our community. 

We thank the donors who are investing in the future of SLO County Public Libraries with a planned gift:

The Innovative Fund at The Community Foundation San Luis Obispo County
The Decker Family Trust
The Estate of Susan B. Silverstein
The Estate of Barbara Baltimore
The Estate of Sara Day
The Estate of Howard Mankins

Support our work for generations to come. Estates of all sizes can be included in a planned gift. Please consult your financial advisor, estate planner or attorney to include the SLO County Library Foundation as part of your legacy.
