The Merritt R. Helfferich Endowment Fund.

Your gift to the Merritt R. Helfferich Endowment Fund at the Gila Valley Library helps ensure that our small Cliff-Gila community keeps the library going well into the future. The Fund honors Merritt Helfferich (1935–2019), who energetically supported the library since its establishment in 2004. The library, especially its science programs for children, was one of Merritt's numerous community commitments. He served on the board of directors for years, including as the treasurer and president, and was concerned about the long-term financial stability of the library. Your gift to the Merritt R. Helfferich Endowment Fund is invested through the Grant County Community Foundation and contributes to the continuing life of the library. Thank you for helping sustain the library!
