Support the Library
The Free Library of Philadelphia creatively serves our communities every day, in person and online. Through the generosity of individuals and organizations, the Free Library of Philadelphia Foundation funds many of the Library's vital programs that make a difference throughout our region.
Donor support enables the Free Library of Philadelphia to provide countless resources and services to millions across the city and beyond each year. And there are as many ways to support the Free Library as there are reasons to give!
The Free Library Fund
While the City of Philadelphia provides for the Free Library's facilities and infrastructure, critical programs and community resources are only made possible with private annual support. The Free Library Fund sustains our mission to advance literacy, guide learning, and inspire curiosity throughout the city.
Membership
The Free Library Foundation is pleased to offer three distinct annual membership programs:
- The George S. Pepper Society, premier membership for elite access
- The Raven Society, for young professionals
- The Knee-Hi Society, for families with children 12 and under
