Overview

Mission

The Friends of Plainville Parks and Recreation exists to support the Plainville Park and Recreation Department. Our purpose is to improve the quality of life for all Plainville citizens through projects and programs that enhance and supplement the recreational education beautification and leisure activities offered through the Plainville Department of Parks and Recreation.

What it reported doing in 2025

Operated a free Summer Concert Series that was open to all. This was held in the park and was well attended. We capped off the season with an all day "Country Fest" featuring multiple bands line dancing lessons and fireworks in the park. All was free and open to the public.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
