Sponsorship Information

For more than 100 years, Phoenix Public Library has been providing vital services that are responsive, flexible, and innovative. While tax dollars put books on the shelves and keep the lights on, the programs that prepare kids for school, put people to work, help students navigate the path to college, and promote entrepreneurship rely on private dollars. 
We invite you to support these programs by becoming a sponsor of Raise the Stacks 2025.

We know there are many requests for your support, and we appreciate your consideration to support the Phoenix Public Library Foundation. By joining us for Raise the Stacks 2025, you ensure the excellence of the programs and services that our Library provides to the greater Phoenix community. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Kelly at 480-570-9023 or [email protected].
