What Crawford County Volunteers for Literacy does
Mission
Our mission is to contribute to our community's quality of life by helping adults improve basic skills such as english, reading, and math needed to function effectively within the community and reach their full potential.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Adult basic education (abe): tutoring in basic education, which consists of reading, writing, and math. Our tutors work within each students' limitations, sometimes focusing on more than one subject when both are needed. The bulk of our students are abe students, equaling approximately 85% of our student population. English as a second language (el): having the opportunity to work with our esl students is a rewarding experience. Simple things such as reading are often taken for granted by english speakers. These students are working on improving their english in order to get different jobs and improve their family situations, and others just want to be able to read at home with their children. Citizenship: preparing for a citizenship exam for the united states is time consuming both for the students and our tutors. Ccvl has worked with students over the years. In preparing for the citizenship exam, with volunteers spending hours reviewing information and practicing for the exam with the students.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $16k to $10k (−41%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
