In an effort to strengthen Rochester Public Library's future, Mayo Clinic took a leadership role in demonstrating its commitment to the Rochester Public Library by contributing $250,000 to establish Rochester Public Library Foundation's endowment fund. A challenge grant matched, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 annually for five years. 2007 was the final year for this challenge grant. Mayo Clinic's total gift was $500,000.
