What is an Annual Appeal? An annual appeal is a fundraiser for nonprofits where we ask for donations from our patrons to help us garner the resources to best serve our community. Here's a sneak peek from our full Annual Appeal Letter, read the unabridged letter linked above.
"As a nonprofit, the library depends on the support of people like you. We know that 2027 will be a challenging year. The price of everything from books to fuel oil is rising. Last year, severe winter storms stretched our snow-plowing budget. Every donation helps us to meet unexpected costs and is greatly appreciated."
Sincerely, Betty J. Cotter President, Board of Directors
