The Foundation’s short-term goal is to raise funds to help offset the cost of building a new McAuliffe Branch Library. Its long-term goal is to create an endowment fund that will supplement, but not replace, funds received from the Town of Framingham. As the Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, your contributions are tax deductible. The Trustees of the Framingham Public Library (FPL) established the Framingham Public Library Foundation to create a legacy for the future of both Framingham libraries.
