About Sponsorship

Our goal is to connect your support to the KCLS Foundation mission and the important work that King County libraries do. We offer year round or event specific sponsorship opportunities but can also work with you to create a customized package that will meet your marketing and philanthropic needs.

Empowerment Partner | $40,000

This partnership offers year-round benefits and sponsor recognition as a dedicated supporter of the KCLS Foundation mission via Foundation communications and acknowledgement at events. Our Empowerment Partners provide crucial support for our community library led programs and services that are enjoyed by nearly 1.6 million patrons a year.


Author Salon Sponsors express their support of the literary arts and library programs by providing sponsorship for the KCLSF Author Salon Series.  Our 6- 8 Author Salons are intentionally small affairs scheduled throughout the year, featuring well known authors discussing their books, writing process, and other details of their experience at unique venues.  Dinner, wine, and a copy of the author’s book are provided to all attendees.  Audience range from 20-40 attendees.
