Friends of Neuschafer Community Library
Get involved, share your ideas, and help our library grow!
Friends of the NCL is an independent non-profit organization with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Membership is free and open to all.
Our Story
The Friends of NCL came together in 1995 and the group began fundraising for two goals:
- To enhance library services and support library programs not covered by the budget
- To prepare for future expansion of the library space
Three decades of fundraising have brought us to a historical moment:
The Library has received a $4.25 million federal grant to build a new library and community center in Fremont. Construction must begin July 1.
Our role in the building project
To make this grant possible, Friends of NCL used private donations and investments from years of fundraising efforts to obtain and prepare the construction site and preliminary architect plans. These steps were part of the grant application process.
Our goal for the project
The intent of Friends of NCL is to help create library space to meet community needs and preserve it for future generations, without cost to taxpayers. This is the opportunity we have been working toward for many years.
Our Mission
We strive to enrich our library’s mission through dedicated fundraising and community engagement, fostering a partnership with donors to support relevant and inclusive services to our community beyond what government funding provides.
Our Vision
To make an outsized impact on our local community, we are committed to working together toward a shared goal of lifelong learning, ensuring our library is a vibrant and accessible hub for education, inspiration, and connection for all.
Donate
Donations are welcome at any time of the year. They can be dropped off at the Library, given to any board member, or mailed as a check to our provided address. Online donations can be sent through our GiveButter page. You can choose a one-time or recurring donation. We are 501(c)3, so we are eligible for matching grants.
