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:

  1. On local library campaigns—for both public and school libraries
  2. On building our national reach as an advocacy organization for libraries
  3. 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.
