Create Your Legacy
Your legacy gift to the Boston Public Library Fund is an investment in transforming the Boston Public Library’s aspirations into results, and in catapulting us to new heights of innovation and achievement. The Boston Public Library Fund provides vital resources that help us reach out to underserved audiences, fulfill our role as a convener and equalizer, and take calculated risks beyond what is covered by public funding. A legacy gift to the Boston Public Library Fund can turn a brilliant idea into a pilot activity, and that pilot into a program that not only benefits all of our branches, but has the potential to become best practice at libraries nationwide.
NEW for 2024: Higher ACGA rates could mean more income for you.
