Mission Statement

The DC Public Library Foundation is the District library's philanthropic arm, enriching the DC Public Library's capabilities, resources and services by forging community connections. By extending the reach of government dollars and building meaningful partnerships with the private sector, community groups and other government agencies, the DC Public Library Foundation helps expand the Library's level of services for all District residents in four key areas: promoting early literacy, bridging the summer learning gap, celebrating the District's cultural vibrancy and increasing District residents' access to economic opportunity.
