With your support, we can continue to nurture and grow the Iola Public Library Endowment Fund. Managed locally by Your Community Foundation, the Endowment Fund has grown from $12,000 in 2012 to over $206,000 today. Help us continue to strengthen this investment in the library’s future by making a donation to the Library Endowment Fund.
What is Match Month? The Patterson Family Foundation will provide up to $100,000 in matching funds to the Community Foundation, greatly increasing the impact of your gift.
A gift of any size made between November 1-30, 2025 qualifies for the match.
Proceeds from the Endowment Fund support library operations, including adult and children’s programs and the purchase of new materials.
The goal of the Endowment Fund is to build financial support for the library in perpetuity.
Make a difference by giving to the Library Endowment Fund during Match Month.
Donations are fully tax deductible to the extent allowed by law and charitable gift receipts will be sent to you by Your Community Foundation.
