Overview

Mission

Support the Chino Library

What it reported doing in 2010

Thru the sale of books and DVDs the organization provides funds to supply new materials and quality reading prgrams for the library patrons

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 89% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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 available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and the available information about grant readiness state registration leaves an important question unanswered.
