In 2000 the HCPL Foundation was launched to cultivate support and raise funds to enhance current library programs and support new initiatives. Our Foundation is a viable example of a public - private partnership in action. Harford County residents have a well-respected, innovative library system that is responsive to community needs.
The HCPL Foundation’s Board of Directors represents a cross section of the community and shares a commitment to improving our community.
Together we can combine both public and private resources to build a premiere library system recognized for delivering innovative services.
The Harford County Public Library Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (ID#23-2987712) and all gifts are fully tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Information under the Maryland Charitable Organizations law can be obtained from the Secretary of State at 410-974-5534.
