Support Your Library
Donations
Private gifts provide crucial support for a wide range of library programs and services. Please contact your local library for more information or you can mail designated donations to TRL Administrative Service Center, Attn: Finance Office, 415 Tumwater Blvd. S.W., Tumwater, WA 98501.
Timberland Regional Library is not a 501c3, however, a gift to a local government entity is tax deductible if it is solely for “public purposes".
The IRS Code, at 26 U.S.C. §170(c)(1), defines "charitable contribution" (which is tax deductible) to include "a contribution or gift” to or for the use of: A State, a possession of the United States, or any political subdivision of any of the foregoing, or the United States or the District of Columbia, but only if the contribution or gift is made for exclusively public purposes.
It is always a good idea to check with your accountant.
