The San Francisco Board of Supervisors authorized the San Francisco Public Library to accept and expend an annual grant of up to $1,072,600 from the Friends of the San Francisco Public Library for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. This grant comprises in-kind gifts, services, and cash monies. The funds are designated for direct support of various public programs and services, including Youth Programs, Adult Programs, Collections, Public Relations, and Innovation Programs. Specifically, $598,783 is for unrestricted support and $473,817 from donor-restricted funds. The resolution also waives the inclusion of indirect costs in the grant budget to maximize the use of funds on direct services. The Friends of the San Francisco Public Library is a non-profit organization that fundraises and provides critical support for the Library's literary and educational initiatives.
