The purpose of the Laurens Public Library Foundation is to encourage and receive gifts, endowments, and bequests to support the development of library services for the community. It was established as a non-profit corporation for educational purposes under Iowa law in 1992.

Gifts of any size from a few dollars to large estates are appreciated. Donations may be given as memorials by will, real estate, certificates of deposit, life insurance policies, bequests or other sources of funding.
