The Cuyahoga County Public Library Foundation exists to raise funds and awareness for the Cuyahoga County Public Library (CCPL). Each year, the CCPL Foundation designates funds from its fundraising efforts and investments back to the Library in areas where the need is greatest. Since its establishment, the CCPL Foundation has distributed more than $1 million to a variety of Library programs and initiatives—allowing the Library the flexibility to address the ever-changing needs of the communities we serve. The Foundation focuses on the support of vital programs and services that are in line with the Library’s strategic priorities. The programs and initiatives supported by the CCPL Foundation range from those focused on early childhood success and family engagement, student success, workforce development, and digital equity and inclusion. These unique services allow the library to be an even greater resource to Northeast Ohio. Learn more at ccplfoundation.org.
