Why We Need Your Gift

We receive most of our funding each year through Flint property taxes. Property taxes allow us to serve the community with essential programs and services.

However, we know that our community has many needs. Annual giving helps us meet those needs when tax dollars can’t do it all. Annual Giving helps us do things like:

  • Bring our summer reading program to kids who might not otherwise be able to get to the Library.
  • Keep our technology state-of-the-art to support more than 30,000 hours of public use.
  • Make technology available so kids can explore computer science.
  • Offer free performances of concerts, plays and movies that many families can’t afford to attend on their own.

Lifelong Learning Circle

The Lifelong Learning Circle is a committed group of donors whose annual investment allows Gloria Coles Flint Public Library to advance its mission. When you join the Lifelong Learning Circle, you will receive special event invitations and updates about the Library’s impact.  Download more information here.

Here are some examples of your gift’s impact:

Sequel Club

Sometimes it’s easier to give the gift you want to give as an ongoing contribution, rather than giving the entire gift all at once. If you think a recurring gift might be right for you, we invite you to consider the Sequel Club. 

It’s easy to join! Download this form and send it with your information. You can also give online and fill in the details of your recurring gift.
