What Friends of the Rogers Park Library does
Mission
Dedicated to suport and enhance services and programs of the Rogers Park Branch of the Chicago Public Library with donations to the Chicago Public Library Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, who rely on philanthropic support beyond the core funding from the City.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Exempt purpose achievements: The Rogers Park Library opened in 1958 with 65,000 books, which was reduced to 37,000 by 1987. The Friends of the Rogers Park Library started Project 20,000 to restore the book collection. We did this with donated books from our neighbors who have used the library. Some of their donated books were put into the circulating book collection, and the rest were sold at book sales. Money raised in book sales and other fundraisers, such as theater events, has been used to supplement the book budget to maintain the number of books in circulation and to fund programs such as musical or theatrical performances. The Friends of Rogers Park Library started the library's homework center, where we recruited volunteers to help students with their homework for our Project: Lowering the Barriers to Learning.We also fund musical, theatrical, and storyteller performances. We also provide funds to supplement the supplies and equipment used by our library staff.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

From the IRS filings of FRIENDS OF THE ROGERS PARK LIBRARY’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of FRIENDS OF THE ROGERS PARK LIBRARY's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $21 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
