Overview

Mission

The purpose of this organization is to promote the appreciation and critical literary analysis, review and study of the writing of anais nin, to restore and preserve the personal papers and effects of anais nin for display to the public, and to carry on other charitable activities associated with this purpose as allowed by law.

What it reported doing in 2025

Building an archive - preparing anais nin's journals, correspondence, photographs and other personal materials for donation to an institution where they will be preserved for future generations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
