Thank you for considering making a donation to the Galway Public Library Foundation. We invite you to invest in your public library because your gift makes a difference.

Here at the GPL Foundation, we strive to make sure the library has the financial ability to function as a community hub, to promote literacy, to offer educational experiences and programs that are accessible to our patrons, and to make a positive difference in the community. Each day we watch as this library transforms lives. We encourage you to support this extraordinary library by making a tax-deductible donation today.


Become an Individual donor. Contribute a one-time amount to the GPL Foundation.

If you are interested in a monthly giving program, which offers a convenient and affordable way to substantially support the GPL Foundation over the course of a year, please contact the Foundation Board of Directors @ (518) 882-8220 or use our Contact Form. Monthly donations is a regular donations plan that allows the donor to automatically give a specified amount to GPL Foundation each month. Any size provides a consistent and reliable stream of funding that is essential to the success of the library.

Benefits of a Monthly Giving Program:
  • Convenient for you as a donor, while making a significant impact on the public library. This is a major way to provide the GPL Foundation consistent funding.
  • Helps the GPL Foundation acquire more grant funding.
  • Provides a convenient annual receipt for tax deduction purposes.
  • Recognition on our Donor webpage and in an GPL Foundation annual report.

Tribute gifts are a meaningful way to honor or remember a special individual or family. When you make a Gift in Tribute, the GPL Foundation will send an acknowledgement to the honoree or to the family members of those being memorialized through your gift. Gifts in tribute are tax-deductible.

Gifts in Honor:

An Honor contribution is a unique way to recognize a family member, friend or individual for a noteworthy accomplishment or to commemorate a special occasion, as a holiday gift, or as a thank you.

Gifts in Memoriam:

Contribute a gift in memory of a loved one, family member, or friend who has passed away. Your thoughtful gift will make an investment in the lives of the numerous Galway community residents who use the public library.


Planned giving allows a donor to establish a lifetime gift or bequest and support the library’s future financial security.  Your gift can help the library in continuing to grow and evolve to meet the needs of the community and to provide free access to services for generations to come.

Your gift is important, appreciated, and significant to our library. We welcome the opportunity to work with you to create a structure that suits your passions and works within your overall estate plans.

Benefits of planned giving:

  • Noticeable tax advantages.
  • Ensures donors will be remembered for their generosity and creates a lasting legacy for an important community organization.
