The Pima Library Foundation engages philanthropy to galvanize support and robust funding for programs and projects that enhance the Pima County Public Library.
Together, we will cultivate a thriving community resource that nurtures learning, creativity, and connection for all.
Since 1999, PLF has raised funding for programs/projects such as Early Math Readiness (children, from birth to age five, form the foundation for their math and reading competency), Sahuarita Library Outdoor Performance Patio (1,000 square foot covered venue, serves more than 30,000 Sahuarita area residents), Workforce Investment/Development (an innovative program that broadens employers’ approach to workforce development and empowers individuals to thrive in the evolving job market), Code Club (the opportunity to learn computer coding), Ready, Set, School! (develops executive brain function activities that help children develop learning skills) and Homework Help (free, personalized tutoring to Pima County learners of all ages).
The Pima Library Foundation works to raise the necessary funds for programs, projects, services, facilities and strategic priorities that enhance our Pima County Public Library and that go unfunded by tax revenue.
Our mission goes beyond immediate needs. We also strive to grow our endowment that will ensure the vitality and excellence of our Library for generations to come.
Our libraries are the center of community, inspiring innovation and learning for all.
Support of the Library’s Mission We amplify programs that educate, inspire and connect people by providing funding that enhances the Library’s mission.
Opportunity and Access We support the Library’s work to provide access to information, literacy and technology so everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Transparency and Stewardship We are committed to managing donations with integrity and building transparent relationships with our partners in philanthropy.
Growth and Sustainability With compassion and connection to our community, we prioritize the Foundation’s growth and sustainability in order to support Library programs.
