We are sold out!

If you'd still like to help us support libraries, you can start a monthly donation at action.everylibrary.org/lessthancoffee

EveryLibrary is excited to announce a new monthly donor drive with ByWater Solutions to help us find at least $1,500 worth of new monthly donors by October 1st. If we reach our goal, ByWater Solutions will match the first month of donations!

ByWater Solutions has made this donation to help EveryLibrary expand their presence, highlight their campaigns and increase support for libraries. “We want to see EveryLibrary have the resources it needs”, says Brendan Gallagher, co-owner and CEO of ByWater. “The impact they have on library funding is so important. We want to encourage people to become monthly donors because those donations are the base for growth.”

You can donate just $1, $3, $5, or $10 per month to help us reach our goal.

Thanks to the generosity and support from people like you, we have a proven track record of success. We’ve already helped libraries earn millions of dollars in funding this year and we’ve helped libraries earn over 1.6 billion dollars in the last 6 years.

In fact, for every dollar that we raise, we are able to fight for over $1,600 in stable library funding. That means that a donation of just $5 per month can help us ensure almost $100,000 in library funding. There’s no better way to put your donations to work to ensure the long-term existence of American Libraries than a small monthly donation to EveryLibrary.

Here’s how your monthly donations translate into stable library funding!

If we reach our goal, you’ll have helped us raise enough money to help secure over 30 million dollars in library funding.

Monthly donations are critical because they are what allow us to support libraries all year long. Here are just a few of the things that your monthly donations will support;

• Running digital ads to over 500,000 Americans each week to educate them about the importance of libraries.
• Identify library supporters and rally them to take action when library funding is threatened on action.everylibrary.org and saveschoollibrarians.org
• Provide pro-bono consulting and training, seed funding, data, digital tools, and more to dozens of library funding campaigns each year.
• Pay for basic month-to-month needs of the organization such as office space, tools, and platform subscriptions that make our work possible.

Help us sustain our work supporting libraries in the United States and help us put Bywater Solutions’ generosity to work today!
