WHO WE ARE:
Founded in 1982, the Broward Public Library Foundation serves as the fundraising arm for the Broward County Library System. An active board of directors oversees the Foundation, providing input on fundraising initiatives, grantmaking, investments, and program funding. Through the generosity of donors, the Broward Public Library Foundation is able to underwrite numerous programs and services that complement those already funded by Broward County tax dollars.
