About the Whitefish Bay Public Library Foundation
Established in 2021, the Whitefish Bay Public Library Foundation helps the library fund collections, programs, and technology that go beyond what public funding provides. Tax-deductible donations are invested in an endowment fund at Greater Milwaukee Foundation (GMF) to ensure residents continue to discover, learn, and enjoy the library’s offerings. Your investment in the library multiplies to support the growing needs and interests of our community. The goal is to maintain the endowment’s principal and annually utilize a portion of the fund’s earned interest to support the Library.
