Mission

Santa Clara City Library Foundation and Friends is a nonprofit organization formed to enrich the local community by providing the Santa Clara City Library with funding and advocacy to enhance its facilities, programs, and services.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Santa Clara City Library Foundation & Friends is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supplementing public funding to expand and enhance the Library's programs and services.

  • Montague Park: In 2024, Santa Clara City Library staff saw a pressing need to reach out to an underserved community living in Northern Santa Clara, specifically on Lafayette and Haig streets. This marginalized pocket of our city lacks access to grocery stores, parking, and recreational facilities. The average income in this area is much lower than the poverty level for Santa Clara County. The Library intended to connect this population with community partners and provide access to free and life-altering resources at events hosted at Montague Park, which is only a ten-minute walk from the targeted population.With funding from the California State Librarys LSTA Inspiration grant, we hosted five community events that provided opportunities for academic, cultural, nutritional and STEAM education. These events were co-designed directly by the community through community meetings, surveys, and conversations. This project, which ran from October of 2023 through July of 2024, introduced residents to a new communal space and created new bridges to the Library, Parks and Recreation, and our community partners.Summer Adventure: Our Summer reading program for all ages was a big success. We served over 9,000 kids, teens and adults June August. About 3,100 individuals registered to participate in the program which encourages reading and outdoor activities. Another 6,000 community members attended family-friendly concerts, presentations and other performances.Lunch at the Library: This program brought the Bookmobile and 12 programs and performances to seven school locations. Over 1,600 students attended programs including: puppet shows, magic shows, story times and science shows.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

California fundraising campaigns

Campaigns run by paid fundraisers, commercial coventurers and thrift stores naming this organization, as California published them. Both figures are as filed, and what the first one counts depends on the campaign type — a coventurer or a thrift store files its own sales rather than money collected for the charity. The 990 reports this only as a yearly total, never per campaign.

  • DONATE FOR CHARITY INC.

    $1,420 raised

    2024 CF Vehicle Donation Program

    $608 to charity

Amounts are as filed and do not add up: a commercial coventurer reports one promotion's whole gross once for each charity that shared in it. A campaign may also name more than one registered charity, in which case it appears on each.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 11 November 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
