What Friends of the Air Force Academy Library does
Mission
To enhance the quality of the Academy's McDermott library, enabling it to acquire materials, pursue projects, and broaden its scope of activities beyond those made possible by Air Force allocated funds.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The USAF Academy's McDermott Library has benefited by the organization's efforts in collection, preservation, conservation, and documentation of pertinent historical documents, audio-visual materials, photographs, and artifacts, as well as purchase of books and artifacts. Specifically, the organization has identified and restored fragile audio and visual media found in the library, helped digitize archival materials and established a dedicated facility for such materials within special collections. We have developed, edited, and uploaded finding aids to the library's searchable database, making many collections now searchable online. In addition, the organization solicited, received, processed, and gifted to the McDermott Library several valuable historical collections, updated a complete set of guidelines for all phases of access, digitizing, archiving, and producing searchable finding aids for donated collections. The organization's website has been updated and reflects current content. And finally, the organization awarded one Clark-Yudkin Research Fellowship to a scholar who used the special collections.

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 $1.3M to $1.7M (+29%).
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. 9 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
