Every 5K Your Way For Libraries donation supports library-saving work
Registration for 5K Your Way For Libraries is open!
Join EveryLibrary as we raise $50,000 to ensure stable funding and access to libraries for generations to come on September 26 -October 2, 2021.
When you fundraise or donate to support the 5K Your Way For Libraries, EveryLibrary puts your contribution to work in three ways:
- On local library campaigns—for both public and school libraries
- On building our national reach as an advocacy organization for libraries
- On staff and projects that run the organization
Every $10 we raise helps us reach 1,000 more Americans with petitions and campaigns to support libraries. Every $1 we raise helps us ensure over $1,600 in local funding for libraries.
What are donations used for?
Donations are used for voter awareness campaigns and helping local library ballot committees win at election time. We dedicate a portion of each contribution to actively reach the American public and local stakeholders through paid social media advertising. EveryLibrary uses a portion of contributions to cover overhead, staffing, and development or acquisition of voter awareness tools and campaign materials.
EveryLibrary needs your support to continue the important work we have been doing for libraries and librarians for the last 9 years. From Sept. 26–Oct. 2, 2021 join library supporters around the country as they participate in EveryLibrary's first 5K Your Way For Libraries. Our goal is to raise $50,000 to ensure EveryLibrary can continue our library-saving work. Here’s how you can help:
Form a Team: Become a team leader and invite your friends and family to join your team and raise critical funds.
Join a Team: Join an existing team, get moving, and ask others to support you with a donation.
Join as an Individual: Sign up as an individual, do your thing, and raise some money!
