Library Giving Day is fast approaching! Download the toolkit assets, including graphics for display screens, emails, newsletters, and social media posts here.
Consistent messaging over the next few weeks is key—marketing research shows people need to hear a message multiple times before taking action. Even your most loyal supporters may forget in today’s busy world. Please also encourage your Boards, Friends groups, and networks to help spread the word, as this approach is fundamental to success.
A few important reminders about matching funds:
- Up to $10,000 is available on a first-come, first-served basis. We will track the gifts by date and time they come through the donation portal.
- Each library can receive up to $500 in matching funds, but this is not guaranteed.
- Matching begins March 31 at 7 AM and ends April 1 at midnight through our donation page only.
- Donations must be made online. If older patrons have preferred to give by check in the past, I’d suggest you ask them to stop by your library and you walk them through the online process.
This is a great opportunity to build support, and NEKLS is proud to provide these funds. I’ll be reaching out in the coming weeks with reminders. Please email me with any questions at rkollar@nekls.org. Enjoy this beautiful sunshine today!
A donation link will be posted later this month to the Northeast Kansas Library Foundation Website.
