Background
The Port Washington Library Foundation was formed in 1991 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, to raise money privately for the benefit of the library. At this time the Foundation received permission from New York State to begin its fundraising and grantmaking activities.
The Foundation solicits, receives, and manages bequests and endowments, providing funds to enhance library services at no cost to taxpayers. The Foundation provides a means whereby those wishing to make significant tax-deductible contributions to the library can do so. Under the Foundation’s by-laws, the Port Washington Public Library is the sole beneficiary of any fundraising activity by the Foundation.
