Individual Donations

One way to make a tremendous difference as an individual is to make an online donation to one of Quatrefoil Library’s endowment funds.

For 30 years, donors and volunteers have made it possible for the Quatrefoil Library to be one the preeminent LGBT libraries in the world. The Library runs on volunteers — from the Board Members to the desk workers — and does not have a single paid staff position. Your financial gift helps sustain all that we do.

Endowments

Quatrefoil has four endowment funds. The endowments are to help secure, strengthen, and extend the long-term survival and mission of the Library. They provide additional monies 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 the library’s founders, this fund facilitates housing the Library and 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 supports and maintains 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.

For more information on endowments, please view the Existing Endowments page.

Collections

A donation to the Acquisition Fund will help us purchase the latest relevant books, DVDs, and other resources, allowing us to keep our collection fresh and vital.
