Why Donate?

The Foundation for the Indian Trails Public Library District was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 1998 to serve residents primarily residing in Buffalo Grove, Wheeling and Prospect Heights who utilize the library in their district. Unlike other governmental entities such as parks or school districts, the library does not have a dedicated revenue stream or charge fees for services, except for recouping the costs of materials used in special programs.

The foundation actively raises funds for requested items and advocates for the library in the community. In the past, the library has purchased:

Books to be given out to children for reading programs
Expansion and enhancement of the Reading Garden
Launch Pad on the Go Kits
