Protect Our Libraries in One Step! Start a Facebook Fundraiser Today!

Spread the word and raise money to protect access to books, information, and the freedom to learn.

As We Wrap Up This Year

We can’t ignore a hard truth: our libraries are under threat. Censorship is on the rise, Project 2025 looms, and we face an environment that could erode our free access to information.

We’ve fought off bad legislation, mobilized voters, secured over $2.8 billion in stable tax revenue, and launched and supported over 100 grassroots library campaigns. With your help, we’ll continue to stand strong against mounting challenges in 2025.

Your Voice Matters

Your voice — and the voices of your friends and family — can make all the difference.

This holiday season, start a simple Facebook fundraiser on behalf of the EveryLibrary Institute. With just a few clicks, you’ll spread the word, fuel real solutions, and help us bring more allies into the fight against censorship.

Ready to protect our libraries and combat censorship?

LAUNCH A FUNDRAISER

Launch your fundraiser today, then share it on Facebook and Twitter!

Then, Tell Your Friends!

You’re part of the team helping to protect libraries and fight censorship — and your voice makes a big difference. To have the most successful campaign, we recommend making it personal:

1. Invite Your Friends
Facebook will show your fundraiser to your network, but personal asks are the most effective. Go to your fundraiser page, click “Invite your friends,” and send them an invitation to donate.

2. Send a Quick Message
Make it even more personal — and a little fun! After all, it’s the end of the year and the perfect time to send your friends a cheerful hello. Wish them happy holidays and share your fundraiser at the same time. Here’s a simple example:

“Hi! I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season! I’m raising money to help protect libraries and fight censorship as part of an end-of-year campaign. Even a small contribution would make a huge difference. I’d love your support! [Insert link to fundraiser here]”

Donate with Trust

The best part about a Facebook fundraiser is that you can trust your donations go to a vetted organization. All organizations are verified by Network for Good, which is accredited by the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance. This ensures that more of your donation reaches the EveryLibrary Institute, allowing us to do more for libraries and the freedom to read.

Thank you so much for helping us support libraries and safeguard the freedom to read.
