The Rogers Public Library Foundation was established in 1997 at the request of the Rogers Public Library Trustees. A non-profit corporation (501(c)(3) EIN 71-0801877) was founded by a group of far-sighted citizens who understood that a great Library wouldn’t be possible through public funding alone.
The Foundation has continued its original vision of generating private-sector support to supplement tax-based funding. The result has been improved collections, expanded programs and enhanced services. But the credit for the Foundation’s impact belongs entirely to the people of Rogers and the surrounding community. Over the years, hundreds of generous individuals, corporations and foundations have demonstrated their deep commitment to the Rogers Public Library by donating to the Foundation.
