Why Donate?

Donations to LISAA go to two separate places, and you may designate where you would like them to go:

  • Student Scholarships:Your donation allows two deserving students to receive funds to assist their studies however they best see fit. These students become contributing members to the LISAA Executive where they can expand their professional network and develop an early taste for library association work.
  • Special Projects: Specialty alumni groups, such as LISAA, cannot make general donations to the Library School. Non-scholarship funds from LISAA must go to meet a special identified need at the School. Most often this is a purchase of equipment. Especially in this technological age, quality computer equipment and tools are essential to exploring possibilities and enhancing creativity. If our future librarians don't have the opportunity to explore and create in school, then they have lost out on a golden opportunity in their career development. Your donations make the purchase of this type of equipment possible.
