Caribou Public Library Foundation is a 509(a)2 established in 2015 to support the programming, materials and equipment of Caribou Public Library. Donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible. "By raising private dollars, library foundations are
able to leverage and stretch public dollars." (source: http://www.ala.org/united/sites/ala.org.united/files/content/foundations/orgtools/library-foundation.pdf)
