The Berks County Community Foundation strives to enhance the quality of life for residents of Berks County, Pennsylvania, by fostering community improvement projects, supporting local non-profits, and encouraging philanthropy.
The Friends of Berks County Public Libraries Fund - Special Projects Program offers grants for specific, time-bound projects at public libraries within Berks County that have achieved state-aided status or are affiliate members of the Berks County Public Libraries federated system. These projects should be outside the library’s regular operating expenses and are ideally pilot initiatives with potential for adoption by other libraries. Collaborative ventures with other libraries or organizations are favored.
