Mission
To work collaboratively with the New Haven Free Public Library to raise funds to support major initiatives and innovative projects that enhance the services of the Library to the residents of New Haven.
-
The purpose of the New Haven Free Public Library Foundation is to raise funds--general operating, project-specific funding, and endowment--on behalf of the New Haven Free Public Library. These funds are periodically transferred from the Foundation to the library to provide resources to help the Library improve its collection of print and online resources; deliver crucial community services and programs to the entire City of New Haven; provide support for strategic priorities and projects; and sustain the public library as a free and democratic institution for future generations. The New Haven Free Public Library Foundation promotes the work of the library, builds community support, and provides oversight and stewardship of contributed funds.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
