The JPL Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) private not for profit corporation created in 1986. The Foundation's mission is to provide the resources that enhance and enrich the Jacksonville Public Library. To this end, the Foundation encourages investments in the future of our library through a variety of giving opportunities, i.e., donations, grants, an endowment fund, Planned Giving programs and memorials.

The Foundation develops financial resources to enhance library facilities, purchase books, computers and media for children and adults, support the Library's Center for Adult Learning and bring thousands together for the annual book festival, Much Ado About Books. The Foundation also launched the capital campaign, "Perfect the Dream" which enabled the library to build an endowment fund to enable Jacksonville to perfect its dream of a world-class library system. Gifts to the Foundation provide tax benefits to the donors and benefit the library and its vital programs. None of these accomplishments would be possible without the generosity of corporations and individuals.
