Honoring the Past. Building the Future.
The foundation has been laid for
a 21st century intellectual commons on the CU-Boulder campus — richly
diverse collections, state-of-the-art access, and a pre-eminent professional
staff. The next step, building upon our strong foundation, cannot be
achieved with traditional budgets alone. With your added support, we
can build a top-drawer library of the future.
The University Libraries are proud to sponsor the Top Drawer
Society, whose gifts support and sustain the resources, facilities, programs,
and services of the Libraries.
To join the Society, participants make a
tax-deductible contribution of $10,000 or more to the Top Drawer Society
Fund.
Donors are honored with a permanent, engraved name plate on
one of the card catalog drawers, honorary panels, or slate tiles on the
Top Drawer Society’s
signature sculpture located in the east lobby of Norlin Library.
Engraved plaques may be used in a variety of ways, such as
honoring a student, remembering a family member, or commemorating an event.
Participants are invited to suggest the inscription (see dimensions
on reverse). An image of the Top Drawer Society sculpture will also be used
to designate named spaces throughout the library system.
Wood panel, shown reduced; actual name plate size is
3 3/4" by 41/4"
mounted
on wood panel or grey slate, black with brass lettering.
Payment of all contributions may be made in full, or over a
maximum of four years. Installation of the plaque takes place upon
(1) receipt
of the first payment, and
(2) signing a binding pledge agreement (if paid
by installments).
The Libraries will encourage participants to endow all
or part of their contribution to the Society. In addition to those funds
that are not endowed, the Society’s endowed gifts will provide
funds in perpetuity for the Libraries and become the foundation upon
which the Libraries maintain their excellence.

The Society also encourages gifts-in-kind, e.g., collections,
corporate donations of software and equipment, etc., at an appraised value
of $10,000 or more.
Benefits of membership in the Top Drawer Society include corresponding
membership in the Chancellor’s Society or the President’s Club
(pending giving level), invitations to exclusive events of the Dean and the
Friends of the Libraries, a complimentary subscription to the campus literary
magazine (divide), specified library privileges, and a variety of memorabilia
from the Libraries.
