Mission Statement
For people who value libraries, The Seattle Public Library Foundation offers a way to make a gift to the Library that directly supports books and e-materials, free education programs, and equity initiatives above and beyond what public funding supports. Our mission is to inspire the community's philanthropic support, advocacy for, and pride in the Library.
About This Cause
Supporters of The Seattle Public Library Foundation help make more than 45 library programs and initiatives available for our neighbors. Every year, the Foundation awards approximately $4,000,000 in grants to enhance Library services above and beyond what taxpayer support covers. Here's a sample of the impact you can have: COLLECTIONS: Gifts from donors fund about 1 in 4 books purchased by the Library, including traditional and electronic books. EDUCATION PROGRAMS: Gifts support major education programs like Summer of Learning, Homework Help, the Global Reading Challenge, and other programs that reach thousands of kids and family members every month. ENRICHMENT: From Author Events to the Bookmobile to Arts Programs, donors sponsor programs that provide free access to services that enrich our community. TECHNOLOGY: Whether it's online classes to learn new computer skills or access to Wi-Fi Hotspots, the Foundation supports programs to increase digital equity and reduce barriers to access. SEATTLE CULTURE & HISTORY: Donor support enhances the Special Collections through acquisition and preservation of materials, capturing Seattle's unique history forever. The Library serves everyone - all ages, all interests, all backgrounds. Thank you for helping to keep our Library strong! The Foundation has a 4-star rating with Charity Navigator and Platinum status with Guidestar - the highest rankings for both nonprofit transparency sites.
