Support Your Libraries. The Gateway to Your Future.
At the heart of our community, our Library provides a place where everyone can learn, create, study and explore. The San José Public Library Foundation was established in 1987 by a group of community volunteers who understood that a great Library system needed more than public funding.
Your Support Helps. Our libraries make a difference in the lives of everyone in our communities, and support from individuals like you is vital to our success. A gift today is a gift for the future!
A quick and easy way to double your contribution is through employee giving programs.
Many corporations match employee (or the spouse of an employee, or retiree) donations to our organization.
If you volunteer with the San Jose Public Library, your employer may also provide us with a grant as a way to recognize your ongoing support.
Thanks for checking to see if your company offers these programs!
