Overview

Mission

The Hartland Historical Society exists to collect, preserve, and research artifacts of Hartland's natural and cultural history: to share those collections in a responsible manner through educational programs, publications and exhibits to encourage public interest in our history.

What it reported doing in 2024

A handicap entrance and ramp were installed to allow easy access to all members and visitors to the display space. All members of the community and surrounding area will benefit.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
