Lawrence Public Library Foundation (Lawrence, KS 66044-2736)
Brad Allen (Project Director: May 2013 to June 2019)

Endowment for a speaker's series, community reading programs, and the purchase of technology, as well as direct support for fundraising activities.

In anticipation of the completion of its newly expanded and renovated library, the Lawrence Public Library Foundation will launch an endowment campaign to raise $1.1 million for the Greatest Expectations Fund. Annual earnings from the endowment will support three purposes: (1) bringing dynamic speakers to the library, (2) supporting community reading programs, and (3) advancing the humanities through technology.
