You Can Help Make This Happen
Together we can make the dream of a new Tilton Library become a reality.
Your gift, through the Tilton Fund, is an investment in the future of the Deerfield region and those who call it home. There are many ways you can give…and all gifts are greatly needed and deeply appreciated! To read more about the project history and see more of the design, CLICK HERE. To make a donation, please click the PayPal button below. To make a multi-year pledge, please contact the library director for a pledge form.
Donations may be sent via PayPal:
THE COST: The project’s estimated cost is $12.3M.
THE FUNDING: The Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners (MBLC) grant cuts that cost down to approximately $7.8M . The Tilton Fund’s capital campaign will decrease the amount the town must finance by $2M, bringing cost down to approx. $5.8M. And the library will get another state grant for being a LEED certified (energy efficient) design, in the amount of $100K.
FUNDRAISING STATUS:
The Tilton Fund has embarked on a capital campaign. To date, $1,535,907- in gifts and committed pledges – has been raised toward the campaign’s $2 million goal. The Tilton Fund is also pursuing grant opportunities. These funds will further offset the cost of the project to Deerfield’s taxpayers. The more we raise, the less taxpayers have to pay!
