The Foundation’s mission:

Is organized under Section 501 (C)(3) of the Internal Revenue code to raise money and community awareness in support of the library’s services and programs.
Pursues financing and in-kind services to supplement the library so additional avenues of learning can be achieved.

Who Do We Serve?

The Foundation helps support the library’s long range goals and objectives. Whether it’s young children developing early literacy skills or discovering the worlds of science and art or adults exploring new cultures or pursuits, the library and Makerplace are the places for learning and cultural enrichment.

The Foundation’s major goal is to build and manage an endowment to provide funds for the library on an ongoing basis.

Why we do it…

The Foundation is an independent, legal entity formed for the purpose of supporting the library’s long-range goals and objectives. Library services are trusted, valued and an integral part of the lives of our community members. The library continues to adapt to serve our everchanging community with an array of new services, events and collections of materials.

The Foundation focuses on securing financial and in-kind donations for capital projects, collections, programs and services that are not funded through tax dollars.

How you can help…

The Foundation also accepts gifts of property, securities, trusts, in-kind gifts, gift annuities and bequests as well as insurance policies. All gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
