-Ways to Give
-Donate Now
The Orange County Public Library makes a difference in your community, and you can help us make a great library system better through your donation.
Why donate to your tax-supported Library? There are lots of needs in our communities and resources are always scarce. Your donations help us enhance the quality of the library in your community.
Your donations support your library now and in the future, to do things like purchase additional printed materials, upgrade and replace equipment, and expand programming for both children and adults. The Orange County Public Library Administration and Advisory Board will ensure all gifts are used to benefit library patrons and the community.
While the typical donation is an outright gift, more substantial amounts may be structured in a number of ways that can increase your tax benefits or enhance the effectiveness of your grant. This type of gift is arranged in advance, and examples are listed below under planned giving.
Whatever amount you choose to give to the Library, you may be sure that your support is truly appreciated and your generosity will enable the Orange County Public Library to continue to meet the needs of the community.

Life Income Plans. There are a number of ways to donate cash, securities, or other property and arrange lifetime payments for you or your loved ones, with various tax advantages.
