NYPL is a top-rated charity
As the third-largest library system in the world, our mission is to inspire lifelong learning, advance knowledge, and strengthen our communities.
Government funding pays only a portion of the Library's operating expenses. We depend on support from generous individuals like you to help fund the vital public programs and resources The New York Public Library offers for free to all New Yorkers. Donate before it's too late! Your gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, but only until midnight December 1.
Match limit: $75,000
Demand for Library resources has grown wildly & government support does not cover all of our expenses. Please don't wait to donate! Your gift will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, but only until midnight December 1.
Thank you! Can you help us offer even more books, classes, programs, and more by turning part of your donation into a monthly gift?
As a special thank you, we’ll send you an exclusive NYPL tote bag!
