Endowment Funds

Quatrefoil Library has three endowment funds. You can add to any of them. The endowments are to help secure, strengthen, and extend the long-term survival and mission of the Library. They provide additional finances for outreach programs not funded by other revenues, such as those provided annually by Q Library’s members and friends. The funds are listed below.

David D. Irwin Fund

Named after one of Q Library’s founders, this fund facilitates housing the library, and it may be used to meet expenses that cannot be funded by other sources.

Acquisition Fund

The purpose of this fund is primarily to pay for procurement of Q Library materials.

Hengel Fund

This fund maintains and funds purchases of the motion picture collections.

Scholarship Fund

Created in 2018, this fund will provide tuition assistance to college-bound LGBTQ students or those already enrolled as undergraduates.

Fund Maintenance

Quatrefoil Library’s Investment Committee recommends to the organization’s Board of Directors how the endowed funds are invested and to be spent, with the goal that the funds will not only be permanent but may increase over time through appreciation, reinvestment of stock dividends, and/or net income from earnings.
