HPLF Mission: Through advocacy and fundraising, the Houston Public Library Foundation supports the Houston Public Library's wide range of initiatives with particular emphasis on its neighborhood libraries and their community programs.HPLF is a 501(c)(3) organization. The Houston Public Library Foundation focuses on increasing the Houston community's awareness of the vital role our Houston Public Library plays in its quality of life. While the City of Houston pays for the Library's basic expenses, such as salaries and materials, the Foundation contributes significant funding for additional books and materials, programming, critical staff development and training, marketing and communications materials and building refurbishment. Without the private funds raised by HPLF, many of the free programs our community relies upon, like Summer Reading and resume writing classes, would not be possible. HPLF also provides funding for HPL's and HPLF's joint annual report.
