About Us

The Sun Prairie Public Library Foundation is based on a shared belief that the library provides a safe and inviting place for community members of all ages to enjoy lifelong learning.  It was founded in 1999 to manage donations and create an endowment for the Library. In 2006, the Foundation reached its initial goal of $100,000, which allowed us to give 50% of the investment income to the library every year. In 2017, the Foundation reached its next goal of $500,000 and is now able to give 100% of investment income to the library each year.  These funds allow the library to go above and beyond its City funding to achieve exceptional levels of service, programming, and technology for the community.

​

The Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization and operates independently of any government oversight. It is governed by articles of incorporation, by-laws, and an investment policy for the endowment.
