The Estes-Spaulding Legacy Society recognizes those who choose to put the Des Moines Public Library Foundation in their will or estate plan. Named for trailblazing former library directors Elaine Graham Estes and the late Forrest Spaulding, the generosity of this special group of donors will open doors well past their lifetimes.
Sharing your intentions to commit to a legacy gift enables us to celebrate you in the present with opportunities to connect more deeply to library programs and our community of stewards. We can also respect requests to remain anonymous while working with you to ensure your wishes make a long-term difference.
If you are considering an estate gift, please reach out to our Executive Director. We can help simplify the process and document your wishes.
