Lincoln County Library System

                          …the Endowment Fund Challenge

To date, the Lincoln County Library Endowment Fund has received $31,253 in donations and $62,367 in matching dollars from the state .  Because of your generosity, we have made great progress in our first year of fundraising for the endowment…but we have a ways to go.  We are eligible to receive 2:1 matching dollars on donations up to $147,826.  Our goal is to take full advantage of this unprecedented opportunity to receive two dollars for every dollar donated.    Thank you & best wishes for 2010!          Updated 01/05/10 

The 2008 Wyoming State Legislature set aside $9.1 million in matching funds to encourage establishment and growth of library endowments.  Lincoln County libraries are eligible to receive a 2:1 match on donations up to $147,826.  Every dollar donated, up to that amount, will be matched by the state with an additional two dollars.                                                                                          

When libraries statewide have raised $2.3 million cumulatively, each of the state’s 23 county library systems will receive an additional $100,000.  At the end of the fundraising period, June 30, 2013, we could have an endowment of over $550,000.
