About the Foundation
The Des Moines Public Library Foundation is a nonprofit community Foundation founded in 1998 to promote, facilitate and implement
collaboration between public and private funding sources in support
of ensuring outstanding public library services in Des Moines today
and tomorrow.
Money raised by the Foundation supports programs that cannot be
provided by the operating budget of the Des Moines Public Library.
These programs are sponsored or hosted by the Foundation and its
generous donors.
The Foundation will also provide funding to the Des Moines Public Library to enhance its collections, facilities and services, both
traditional and technological, beyond what tax dollars provide.
* It is important to note that Foundation funds are not used to
replace or supplant city funding.
