Overview
Mission
The Pasadena Public Library Foundation (the Foundation) is a nonprofit corporation organized under the laws of the State of California for the purpose of preserving the Pasadena Central Library Building.
What it reported doing in 2009
The foundation, through the preservation of the pasadena central library building, serves all residents of the city by assisting to keep library services and facilities available to the community.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
