Glen Ellyn Library Foundation
How is the Foundation Different from the Friends of the Library?
Unlike the Friends of the Library, the Foundation maintains an endowment fund. The fund is supported by both planned giving and fundraising, whereas the Friends’ fundraising is done via an annual campaign and booksales. Donations to the Foundation are deposited in the endowment fund and interest earned on the principal investment is used to help fund special Library projects. The Friends annual contribution to the Library supplements the book and program budgets.

For more information on the Foundation, contact the Library Director or Development Officer Julie Evans at jevans followed by @gepl.org.
