Giving Tuesday

5 years ago

This community shows up. On Giving Tuesday and every day.

We really weren’t sure what to expect this year. There’s so much uncertainty, and so many organizations worthy of support. But we spent the day in awe – of you.

More donors made investments in the Library this year than ever before. And as of this writing, they’re still coming in the mail.

Nationally, 29% more donors gave 25% more dollars this year over last. This community reflects – and far exceeds – those trends.

We could not be more grateful to Neighboring Concepts for their generous match, to all the Library users who shared their stories of the Library’s impact, and to everyone in this community for your generosity, commitment and advocacy. Every day.

Thank you.

From Seattle to Charlotte: Library Giving Day is coming to your neighborhood

#LibraryGivingDay is a one-day fundraising event on April 6th, with the goal of encouraging people who depend on and enjoy Charlotte Mecklenburg Library to donate.

Verse & Vino 2022

The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation was back at the Charlotte Convention Center at Verse & Vino this year. We are thrilled to announce that we had 1,100 people in attendance and raised over $475,000… with donations still coming in. If there is a group of people more dedicated, enthusiastic and committed to improving and strengthening an organization like the Library, it’s our Verse & Vino guests. They’re the reason why we are one of America’s leading urban public libraries.

This year we were joined once again by our emcee Sheri Lynch and five outstanding New York Times bestselling authors: David Baldacci, Sarah McCoy, Javier Zamora, Megan Giddings, and Adriana Trigiani.
