Donors make a difference

Many of Cuyahoga County Public Library’s most impactful programs and services are made possible through donor support. 

Cuyahoga County Public Library Foundation

Created in 2002, the Cuyahoga County Library Foundation exists to raise financial resources in support of the Library’s mission of reading, lifelong learning and civic engagement and to elevate awareness of the Library’s critical role in the community. The Cuyahoga County Public Library Foundation’s fundraising efforts and investments have enabled the funding of grants back to the Library for vital programs and services.

The Foundation gratefully accepts gifts from individuals and organizations who wish to support Cuyahoga County Public Library’s mission. Gifts are 100 percent tax-deductible and will be used to fund library services for youth, adults and seniors throughout our community.
