Overview
Mission
The primary goals of ibbs are to raise funds for the young women's resource center, promote literacy for everyone, and promote education for all.
What it reported doing in 2024
Initial year of the organization. Began working in the new rental warehouse space to collect, sort, price mark, and store books for future sale and donations to other charitable or governmental organizations. Donated 105 boxes of books to the polk county jail and 24 boxes of books to hope ministries. Over 100 unpaid volunteers (no paid employees) volunteered over 3,000 hours during this initial year of organization.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
