Overview

Mission

The Mission of the Foundation is to enhance our library as a community resource by raising public and private funds for specific projects and by building an endowment for the financial security and long term excellence of the library.

What it reported doing in 2025

Support for Library Programs.

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 - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
