Overview
Mission
Support Trinity County California public libraries. We are a volunteer organization with no physical assets or responsibilities.
What it reported doing in 2025
When the County was going to close all libraries because f budget restraints, the TCFL stepped up to support salaries and expenses of operation.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 62% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
