Established in 1984, the Eugene Public Library Foundation has sought private support to improve the services and programs of our Library. One example is the New Book Brigade, which purchases new books in subjects of the donor's choice. The year 2000 Club endowment has met its goal, with earnings supporting reference and other critical collections

The Foundation successfully raised 5 million dollars for Eugene's Downtown Library with over 2500 donors from our communities helping to make our new library a source of pride for all.

Since then, monies raised by the Foundation have initiated wireless Internet services throughout the building and at both branches, the beautiful Rose Window at the east end of the first floor, and served generations of Library users through support of new books, media and a variety of online collections.

With the Foundation's support, the Library's reach has grown considerably in the past 10 years. The collection has grown, programs have increased and library visits have increased substantially. This says a lot about the people of Eugene and their support for their library and the Foundation.

The Eugene Public Library Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, separate and independent of City government. Donations to the Foundation are tax deductible as provided for by law. Gifts can be made through cash contributions, planned giving bequests or transfers of stock or other property.

The Eugene Public Library Foundation is directed by an 18 member volunteer Board of Directors serving three year terms and managed by an Executive Director.
