There are three ways to contribute to The International Poetry Library of San Francisco:
Books, Funds, or Volunteering.
The International Poetry Library of San Francisco is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation with tax-exempt status. Tax ID #26-2438029. We are currently applying for grants and public funds, and welcome any private donations. All donations are fully tax-deductible and will be put in our general fund for securing a location. To contribute financially please contact our Kimberly Mahler at donations@iplsf.org
If you would like to contribute funds of any amount, we are now accepting donations via PayPal. You can send payments to the PayPal account donations@iplsf.org or click the button below.
Are you a poet? We would love to include your books or chapbooks of poetry in our collection. We are interested in three copies of each volume (one for reference and two for lending).
Or, do have duplicate copies of poetry or poetry related books on your shelves? Give us your extra copies so we can put them into the hands of people who are eager to read poems but may not have the funds to purchase books from a bookstore. A bookplate with your name will be placed in each donated volume.
