Building a New Chapter: Revitalizing Our Library
Welcome to the Tully Free Library Revitalization Initiative! We are thrilled to embark on an exciting journey to transform and enhance the library space with this capital project.
As a vital community hub, we aim to provide an exceptional space that meets the evolving needs of our diverse community.
To achieve this ambitious goal, the library needs your support.
Why Donate?
By donating to the Revitalization Initiative Capital Project, you will contribute directly to the transformation of the Tully Free Library, enabling us to create a modern, accessible, and engaging space for all. Your generosity will help us address critical infrastructure needs, such as updating ventilation systems, improving accessibility, and enhancing safety measures. Additionally, your donation will support the creation of versatile areas for children's programs, quiet study spaces, community group meetings, and more.
How Your Donation Helps:
Modernizing Infrastructure: Your contribution will aid in upgrading aging infrastructure, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for visitors and staff. From improved heating systems to enhanced ventilation, your donation will have a lasting impact on the overall well-being of our library.
Enhancing Accessibility: We are committed to making our library accessible to all individuals. With your support, we can install a staff elevator, ADA-compliant circulation desk, and other accessibility features, ensuring everyone can navigate and enjoy our facility without barriers.
Enriching Community Spaces: Your donation will enable us to expand and enhance our library program space, catering to a wider range of interests and age groups. From after-school activities to tutoring services, community meetings, and cultural events, your contribution will foster a vibrant and inclusive space for learning and community engagement.
Our Goal:
The library will receive $805,857 from the New York State Library Construction Grant fund in early 2024. To receive these funds, the library must match 25%, or $268,619.
Our goal is to raise $300,000, which will meet the match and cover the costs of furniture and any additional expenses. So far, we have raised $93,100 of this goal, with $206,900 left to go.
How to Donate:
Supporting our revitalization initiative is quick and easy. No matter the size, every contribution brings us one step closer to our goal.

Make a gift through your IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
Beginning the year you turn 70 ½, making a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a great option to lower your income taxes while doing good for others. QCDs count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (up to $100,000), effectively lowering your adjusted gross income and bringing about many tax benefits. Go to the IRS website for additional useful information on QCDs.
