About the Cumulative Giving Program

When you give a monetary gift to the library, you also become part of our Cumulative Giving Program, and every donation you make adds up to your cumulative total.

When your cumulative total reaches $1,000, your name can be added to Generosity Island, our recognition wall, located in the library entry. Additional gifts qualify you for higher levels of recognition, as shown on the right.

Your gifts to the library will be used today to enhance the collection, purchase equipment, and provide special services and programs.

The Fort Myers Beach Public Library qualifies to receive charitable gifts, which are tax deductible [IRS Code 170 (c) (1)].
