The Community Partner Program, sponsored by the Fern Ridge Library Foundation, is an annual giving program for businesses and organizations interested in supporting the children, youth, families, and patrons of the Fern Ridge Library. Businesses and organizations receive recognition for their donations and provide important support for the Fern Ridge Library.
Business philanthropy contributes to the vitality of our region and the quality of life we enjoy in Lane County. Together, we are able to accomplish more when the Foundation works with local and regional businesses and organizations to improve our community. As you may know, the Fern Ridge Library serves over 13,000 people in the Veneta, Elmira, Noti, Walton, and surrounding areas of western Lane County.
Business and organization gifts of $50 and above will establish membership in the Community Partner Program. Each membership level has benefits and recognition as described below. The gift levels are: Basic Member for gifts of $50 to $149, Associate Member for gifts of $150-$299, the Sustaining Member for gifts of $300-$499, and the Leadership Member for gifts of $500 and above. Annual gifts are always appreciated.
