1. How much does it cost?

There are varying levels and types of sponsorship across different City of Hutto departments and activities. For example, a family or business might sponsor and name a study room in the new public library.

Sponsorship levels are discussed more in detail on each page.

4. What is Sponsorship? How is it different from a donation?

Sponsorship typically means a person or entity provides the City with financial support for an activity, City program or City facility, typically in exchange for the City providing more than nominal recognition of that financial support. This overt recognition distinguishes a sponsorship from a donation. Financial assistance provided by a sponsor may consist of cash and/or in-kind contributions.

5. Who are the Friends of the Hutto Public Library?

The Friends of the Hutto Public Library is an independent non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation that supports the city-funded library but is not part of the government. They have an independent board of directors, with a member of the library staff serving as an ex-officio member.

Sponsorship levels are available in increments to fit any budget and help to enhance library services, reduce the costs the City incurs, and benefits your family and community as a whole. Through the Friends of the Hutto Public Library, your sponsorship is eligible for a program tax deduction.
