Mission
Professional & Educational Association
What it reported doing in 2024
Maine Library Association Annual Conference provides professional development opportunities to approximately 200 librarians, as well as the opportunity to present, network, and hear speakers from outside the state.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
