Opportunities for Giving
Friends of the West Virginia University Libraries can demonstrate their support by taking an active role in helping us to fill our shelves and enhance our collections. This could be accomplished by creating an endowment or by making a one-time donation. To discuss establishing an endowment or making a contribution, please contact Monte Maxwell, development representative, at (304) 293-0306 or monte.maxwell@mail.wvu.edu.
Honor with Books
Searching for a way to celebrate a special occasion, honor a friend, family member, or favorite professor, or acknowledge an accomplishment? WVU Libraries’ Honor with Books program is the perfect way to provide a lasting tribute to special people in your life.
For as little as $100, you can honor the person of your choice. Every $100 increment will fund the acquisition of one new book selected by a WVU Librarian.
Names of the honoree and the donor will appear on a bookplate inside the book’s front cover and in the computer display of the Libraries’ online catalog. We will endeavor to fulfill any preferences regarding subject matter for books purchased. All gifts are tax-deductible, and notification of gifts can be sent to the honoree or the honoree’s family.
Help strengthen the collection of the WVU Libraries by making a gift to the Honor with Books program. For more information, contact Monte Maxwell at (304) 293-4040 Ext. 4004 or email monte.maxwell@mail.wvu.edu.
Creating a Legacy
Helping the WVU Libraries remain a strong educational resource for students, faculty and the university community is a high priority for many.
Supporters can make future growth of the Libraries possible through a special gift included in a will or revocable trust. That is easy to do by having your attorney specify to the West Virginia University Foundation for the benefit of the WVU Libraries in your will.
You may use the WVU Foundation forms to give to the Libraries. Use the links to the right and be sure to identify your gift as specifically meant for the Libraries. If your will has already been prepared but you would also like to help strengthen the Libraries' future, a codicil can accomplish what's needed.
However you choose to help the WVU Libraries, it will be greatly appreciated.
