Endowment Fund
To ensure the library's long-term financial stability, an endowment fund has been established under the management of the Local Impact Alliance, formerly the Canton Community Foundation. A gift to this fund is a gift that grows — the principal remains intact — creating a legacy to benefit Canton residents for years to come.
Use the link to donate online directly through the Local Impact Alliance’s website. If you prefer to write a check, please make it out to the Local Impact Alliance and indicate Canton Public Library in the memo line. Checks can be mailed to Canton Local Impact Alliance, 50430 School House Road, Suite 200 Canton MI 48187
