Nashville Public Library Foundation

Established in 1997 to raise private funds for the enhancement of collections, programs, and facilities, the Nashville Public Library Foundation has increased the library’s accessibility and visibility locally, nationally, and internationally. The Foundation is key to the unique partnership between government support and generous citizens—a partnership that is essential to the success of the Nashville Public Library. Private support through the Foundation funds exceptional programming and extraordinary spaces, like the teen center and the stately courtyard and garden, ensuring a collaboration that continues to strengthen our community.

Thanks to our generous supporters, Foundation has provided funding for nearly 150,000 items in the library’s collection and facilitated close to $20 million of private investment in capital projects, quality educational programming, exhibits, and concerts—all free to the citizens of Nashville.

I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.
