Why donate?
In 1901 American steel magnate Andrew Carnegie agreed to donate $50,000 to build a public library if the City would provide free land, and $5,000 annually to support its operation. Today, donations continue to play an important role for Carnegie Community Centre. Our programs rely on donations, funding, and grants.
