The Charlotte Mecklenburg Library Foundation demonstrated successful and creative fundraising with their I Love Our Library . . . Do You? campaign developed around a challenge grant of $100,000 from The Leon Levine Foundation intended to broaden the Library Foundation’s base of support for ongoing sustainability. To receive the funds, the Library Foundation was required to raise an additional $100,000 in qualifying gifts from the community within a six-month period. Due to an excellent campaign and a generous community, the Library Foundation raised nearly $400,000, not including the challenge grant dollars.
