The Whitefish Bay Public Library is lucky to be supported by two 501(c)(3) organizations that raise funds for the library. Their generosity enables the library to offer services beyond what is supported by the operating budget.
Foundation funds are raised via donation and will be invested on a long-term basis through the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. The goal is to maintain the endowment’s principal and annually utilize portion of the fund’s earned interest to support the Library.
Friends for the Whitefish Bay Public Library (Friends) raise funds primarily through book sales and membership dues, enabling them to support the library annually. Funds from Friends are used for programming and special projects, with yearly levels determined by the prior year’s revenue.
