Endowment Funds

You can make a significant impact by contributing to one of Quatrefoil Library’s endowment funds through an online donation.

Quatrefoil Library has set up four endowment funds to ensure its long-term sustainability, advance its mission, and support its expansion. These endowments offer essential additional funding for outreach programs not covered by other revenue streams, including annual contributions from our members and friends.
