Phoenix Public Library Foundation

Arizona Gives Day 2026

Big dreams start at the library. And today, you can help make them possible.

At the Phoenix Public Library Foundation, we do more than support a library; we change lives every single day.

Because of donors like you:

✨ A child starts kindergarten ready to learn and ready to read
🎓 A first-generation student finds their path to college
💼 A parent earns their high school diploma and builds a new future
💡 A teen discovers a passion for coding, design, or entrepreneurship

This is what your gift makes possible.

📖 More Than Books: A Lifeline for Our Community

Every day at Phoenix Public Library, lives are transformed.

Thousands of children arrive at Kindergarten Bootcamp ready to succeed.
Teens explore technology, creativity, and career pathways.
Adults return to school, gain new skills, and change their futures.

For more than 100 years, Phoenix Public Library has been a trusted, welcoming space for our community, but the programs that truly transform lives rely on people like you.

Public funding keeps the doors open.
Your support changes what’s possible inside.
