What is the Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation, and why is it important to our public Library?
The Chapel Hill Public Library Foundation was established in 1997 as a private, tax-exempt 501 c 3 non-profit organization operating with its own board of directors. Original assets of the Foundation came from the Cornelia Spencer Love Trust, established in 1981, and managed by the Town before the Foundation took responsibility. The mission of the Foundation is to develop and encourage long term financial health and growth of the Library through annual gifts, endowment and capital contributions. The Foundation’s top priority is to enrich our community by helping our Library collections grow.
