The Bella Vista Public Library Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization that supports the Library.  

The mission of the Bella Vista Public Library Foundation is to support the Bella Vista Public Library by being a repository for gifts for the perpetual maintenance of the facilities and grounds and by providing financial support for educational programs, equipment, and facility expansion. The Foundation meets every other month at 3:30 at the library.  Most meetings are the 4^th Tuesday of the month, with the exception of November . 

In January of 2014, the Foundation leased the library to the city to manage and maintain for the benefit of the people of Bella Vista.  Ownership of the library was retained by the Foundation, making the Foundation fully responsible for any expansion to the building or grounds.  In April of  2020, a 6.480 square foot expansion to the building was completed.  The Foundation is currently working to expand the parking lot.
