Curtis Friends Add $10,000 to Endowment Fund Established in 2013 to Support Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick

June 23, 2014

BRUNSWICK, ME – June 16, 2014 – Curtis Friends, a membership-supported nonprofit organization that raises funds for programming and special projects at Curtis Memorial Library in Brunswick, Maine, has made a second gift of $10,000 in as many years to the Curtis Friends Endowment Fund to support the ongoing operations and longevity of the library.

 “Curtis Friends is thrilled to once again add to the Curtis Friends Endowment Fund with this $10,000 gift,” says Board President Judith Redwine of Harpswell.  “Curtis Memorial Library is a community treasure, and the Friends strive to support the library in its efforts to keep its collection, programming and technology offerings current and accessible to people of all ages and abilities.”

 Library Director Elisabeth Doucett adds, “Curtis Friends work tirelessly to raise funds and awareness for the Library in the communities of Brunswick and Harpswell.  Their efforts are seen throughout and around the library – sponsoring programs and speakers for children and adults; underwriting the Bestseller’s Express and our self-check-out system; and caretaking of the gardens and grounds.  While many public libraries have “Friends” groups to support programming and projects, Friends-supported endowment funds are largely unprecedented.  Curtis Library is truly grateful for the Friends for their foresight and commitment to the library through their continued generosity.”

 The Curtis Friends Endowment Fund was established in 2013 with a $10,000 gift.  The Friends expect to add to the fund annually.  Income from this discretionary endowment fund will be allocated to areas of greatest need in the library as determined by the Executive Director.
