Fundraising Goal & Progress

GOAL

The Friends of Spicewood Community Library are laser focused on raising sufficient funds to build a new and more modern facility for Spicewood.  The overall goal has been revised to $2.0 million based on discussions with area contractors and changes in economic conditions..  The current progress is described in the chart below.  While we are making good progress, we are still writing construction grants and reaching out to businesses who can make donations or assist with in-kind work or materials. Grant opportunity successes are greatly increased once we are significantly over 50% of our fundraising goal. Help us get to there.
