The Elizabeth Kelly Library Foundation Inc.

Picture
The Elizabeth Kelly Foundation Inc. (EKLF) is named after Elizabeth Kelly, a devoted and much loved librarian of the original Mississippi Mills Public Library. The Foundation was established in 1985 to financially support education and literacy.

The Foundation supports literacy and learning within Mississippi Mills, in the greater Ottawa area when there is a tie-in with our local community and farther afield by supporting Canadian charities working internationally.

The Foundation is a registered charitable (not-for-profit) corporation in Ontario, Canada.

Financial Support

Governance

The Foundation provides financial support for programs and initiatives for education, learning and literacy. Funds are provided to support the community's library network and other organizations and community groups whose values and vision align with the Foundation -- provide communities with opportunities to promote literacy, education and life-long learning.
The Foundation is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors elected annually from its Membership. The Board meets throughout the year.

Foundation Members are selected from a cross-section of persons with special interests in literacy and learning for youth, adults and seniors.

An Annual Meeting is held in May of each year and is open to Members and the general public.
