 ‘Friends of Noolaham’ is a membership based initiative. Individuals or small organizations can become a member by paying annual subscription. All we need is 50 Preserving Members who can donate $ 1000 annually. Or 500 Community Members who can donate $100 annually. We expect that about 250 Friends of Noolaham members at various membership levels should be able to sustain Noolaham Foundation. See '''[[Friends of Noolaham]]''' page for more details.

 Noolaham Foundation is all about documentation, preservation and dissemination of the cultural heritage and knowledge base of the Sri Lankan Tamil speaking communities. Supporting Noolaham Foundation enables the knowledge production and knowledge preservation of these communities and in the long run supports the communities to develop and prosper.
-During May 2015, Noolaham Digital Library was accessed by  9,465 different users from 664 cities in 73 countries. If each one of those users donate just Rs.45 per month, there is no need for a funding appeal. But 33% of the users are from Sri Lanka and 28% and most of them cannot actually afford to donate. That is why we are requesting the diaspora and wealthy to donate.

 The expenses of one year collection development is equivalent to buying the same collection for 10 physical libraries excluding excluding the salaries and overhead expenses. To match the reach of Noolaham Digital Library, around 200 libraries will have to acquire the same collection just in Sri Lanka. We are not comparing the public libraries to the digital library as both are needed for their own advantages, but the impact of digital libraries is great. Computers and browsing enabled mobile devises have reached every nook and corner. But communities cannot make use of the Information Age if there are not enough information sources readily available in digital formats.
