The DC Public Library Foundation partners with the DC Public Library to enhance Washington, DC's public libraries, bringing private philanthropy together with government support to ensure that our libraries deliver the highest quality of service to the District's residents.
DCPLF may designate a portion of some gifts (in most cases eleven percent) to enhance its continued capacity to attract support for the DC Public Library system. These funds also help further DCPLF's marketing efforts to increase visibility and public awareness for Library programs, services, and philanthropic needs.
