What Friends of the Library does
Mission
Our primary exempt purpose shall be to focus public attention on the library and its functions, resources, programs and needs; to receive and encourage gifts, donations and memberships; to support the library staff in developing services and facilities for the community; to engage in fund raising through the sale of books and related materials, and to support the principles of the american library association.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Main accomplishment: to engage in fund raising efforts through the sale of books and related materials during nine months of each year in order to provide support for the anderson public library.
$0 spent
The program described on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
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. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $1k to $528 (−64%).
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.
100% of FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.
