SPONSOR AN INITIATIVE

Donors interested in directing their contributions strategically may prefer to choose from the following sponsorship options:

 

BOOK FUND: Create lifelong readers, prepare students for success and provide reading material for adults through quality book collections. The books are carefully chosen to match each community’s needs and interests. They range from storybooks and reference materials to Latin American literature and science books. Books in local indigenous languages are also purchased through the book fund. Donate now ›

INTERNET FUND: Riecken libraries bridge the digital divide in Central America, offering the only public Internet in many communities and the only free access in all of them. This fund helps pay for high-speed Internet service, allowing library users to e-mail family members abroad, tap business opportunities online, register for university classes, look for jobs and much more. Donate now ›

TECHNOLOGY FUND: Some rural Central Americans have their first hands-on experience with computers in a Riecken library. Every library is inaugurated with at least five computers. To keep current, the libraries’ technology centers require regular updates. The technology fund ensures that all Riecken libraries have state-of-the-art computer hardware, software and electronic security. Donate now ›

ADOPT A LIBRARY: A $15,000 contribution funds a full year of dynamic library programming and community outreach. Preschoolers can attend story hours, young readers can join library book clubs and teenagers can take part in competitive debate – and that’s just the beginning. Supporters who adopt a library receive a certificate of appreciation while the Riecken e-newsletter spotlights their contribution. Donate now ›

BUILD A LIBRARY: Ignite a spirit of discovery in a community by donating $50,000 to build a library. You will be the guest of honor at the library’s inauguration, a press release will acknowledge your generous contribution and you will receive a certificate of appreciation. The Riecken Web site will highlight your gift, and the Riecken e-newsletter will publicize your contribution. Donate now ›

PARTNER WITH US: The Riecken Foundation welcomes collaboration from organizations and corporations with programs or resources that could be deployed through the library network. Donate now ›
