Maximize your Philanthropy

Many supporters find Facebook and other social media platforms a convenient way to share a fundraising campaign. If you host a Facebook fundraiser, please let us know so we can follow up appropriately and contact you if there are any questions.

Support your Library every time you shop. Donate spare change by automatically rounding up your orders to the nearest dollar at checkout when you enroll in Walmart Spark Good.

Customers enrolled in the Target Circle loyalty program receive special discounts and earn votes with every purchase. Log into Target Circle to cast your vote for Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation, and Target will donate a percentage of purchases to us.

Please note that Target changes their menu of available charities regularly, so Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation is not always an option.
