Mission Statement
The SMPLF builds a community of Library advocates and donors by amplifying the Library’s vision and inspiring pride in its accomplishments. We provide financial support to the Library, enhancing its impact on our community and ensuring its long-term vitality, particularly in these areas: children and teen programs, literacy programs, job seekers programs, tech lending library, cultural programming, capital projects, and outreach and inclusion.
About This Cause
The San Mateo Public Library Foundation was incorporated in 1994 with an initial mission to raise over $10 million for a new library building, which opened its doors in 2006. Since then, the Foundation has evolved into a dynamic annual giving organization, funding a wide array of projects and needs such as maintaining library hours, providing outreach services, and enhancing the tech lending library collection. At its core, the Foundation’s mission is to offer unrestricted funds to the library, enabling the provision of exceptional programming beyond what public funding allows. In 2024 the SMPLF was honored by Assembymember Papan as a California Nonprofit of the Year.
