Alliance for Libraries Fund
The Wisconsin Library Association has created a campaign conduit fund to allow library supporters to contribute to statewide legislative campaigns in the name of the Alliance for Libraries Fund (ALF).
WLA members and others may contribute to ALF. WLA maintains the accounts of each contributor. Monies may be released only with the permission of the contributor at the time the contribution is needed. Contributors may contact WLA when they want their funds to be released to one or more candidates. Or, WLA may alert ALF contributors that opportunities exist to contribute to specific candidates. Again, WLA must receive explicit authorization to release funds to a specific candidate or candidates; it may not direct contributions without authorization from the individual contributor.
A check from the Alliance for Libraries Fund, listing each individual conduit contributor, is presented to the candidate. He or she may report the contributions as individual contributions. However, the candidate is aware that library supporters are among his or her contributors.
Library supporters now have one more way of making their political presence
felt!
