Libraries General Fund

A nonprofit organization

Calling all library lovers!  

#LibraryGivingDay is a one-day fundraising event that encourages people who depend on and enjoy public libraries to donate to their library system. 

There are 25 Libraries represented this first year, and we hope to grow that number next year!  If you don’t see your library involved, you can donate to this general fund that will be distributed equally among all participating libraries.

Public libraries are known for books and research materials, but they also offer many programs that promote lifelong learning, connect patrons to technology, and advance our knowledge. 

For all the services and programs libraries provide to their community, their budgets just aren’t enough.  That is where the Friends of the Library, the 501(c)3 organization that helps support libraries, pays for any additional programs, projects, or services that the library needs beyond its operating budget.  

This is the first year that a group of North Texas Library Friends and Foundations have joined together to make a broader impact in the DFW area.  Thanks to Communities Foundation of Texas and generous supporters, 100% of every donation will support library programs and services that directly impact the community.
