Danville Library Foundation
The Foundation supports the Danville-Center Township Public Library through advocacy and fundraising. Every dollar raised helps provide programs, materials, equipment, and resources beyond the library’s operating budget, promoting literacy, enriching lives, and strengthening our community.

History of the Foundation
The Friends of the Danville Library was established to support and advocate for the library through volunteer efforts, fundraising, and community engagement. In 2025, the organization adopted new bylaws to do business as the Danville Library Foundation, continuing under the same 501(c)(3) designation. Transitioning from a membership-based group to a fundraising organization, the Foundation now focuses on cultivating corporate sponsorships, individual gifts, and organizing fundraising events that advance the mission and vision of the library.
