About the Foundation
Incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization in June of 1994, The
Beaverton Library Foundation seeks the support of the Beaverton community, both
businesses and individuals, to assist in our efforts to help fund new and
ongoing programs in the Beaverton City Library.
Towards this end the Foundation has engaged the Beaverton community in various
activities since its inception such as the buy-a-book campaign, fund raising
dinners featuring local authors as speakers, and various solicitations through
correspondence with local businesses and individuals.
