Overview
Mission
The long ridge libarary is a historical community center serving the long ridge and surrounding neighborhoods since 1916. The library houses valuable collections of local history, biographies and theater as well as books and materials that have been donated over the years by prominent long ridge authors and artists. Our purpose is to provide a community gathering place for the long ridge/danbury area residents.
What it reported doing in 2025
Secured grant from city of danbury, ct.
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 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 total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. 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.
