Legacy Giving

Help ensure that your library remains an integral part of our community for many years.

Gifts can be made to the general fund or be restricted to a project or area that is important to you.  Gifts can also be given in memory of a loved one.

There are many ways you can contribute to the library’s future. 

Ways to Make a Difference

  • Remember Elting in your will or estate

  • Designate Elting as a beneficiary for your life insurance, annuity, bank, brokerage or health savings accounts

  • Roll over your federal Required Minimum Withdrawal (RMD) directly from your retirement account to Elting. A direct rollover is not taxable

  • Establish a Donor Advised Fund (DAF).

  • You can make a single tax deductible investment in a DAF.  You can make contributions to qualified charitable institutions, like Elting, while your investment continues to grow.  The Community Foundations of the Hudson Valley is a resource for this. Contact them for details.

Your attorney, financial planner or investment company can help you set up any of these options.

Please speak with our Library Director for any questions about planning a meaningful legacy:
