We would like to express our ongoing gratitude to the library benefactors
who have had the forethought to provide permanent funds for the purchase
of library materials. While this list includes the names of donors who have
made significant gifts, there are countless thousands who have also contributed
to the Libraries with annual gifts.
Please note that named permanent endowment funds may be established with
gifts of at least $25,000. Individuals may also make contributions of any
amount to an existing fund. For more information, please contact our Director
of Development at 303-492-7511 or send an email to us by clicking
