In 2003, the Foundation Board voted to combine efforts with the Pittsburg Area Community Foundation, in an effort to strengthen both organizations. The PACF, which now includes the library endowment, is affiliated with the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, which provides professional financial management of funds in all the affiliated foundations.
The PPL Foundation is chartered in Kansas as a 501(c)3 organization to receive charitable gifts. Contributions should be sent to the Pittsburg Public Library Foundation at the library's address. Donations may be given anonymously or in memory or honor of someone at your request.
