Thanks to the generosity of library supporters, the Saginaw Public Libraries Foundation successfully met the challenge grant opportunity from the Saginaw Community Foundation in honor of its 25th Anniversary. Loyal library Foundation supporters raised over $25,000 to add to our endowment fund in less than one year. The Saginaw Community Foundation will match this with a gift of $10,000 - that's a 40% return on our investment!

The library Board and staff would like to personally thank all the library donors who helped us take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to grow our endowments in these tough economic times. It couldn't be done without the help of generous library donors like you. Money raised through this challenge grant opportunity will help our library system be in a much more financially secure position both now and in the future.
