What Friends of the Library Foundation does
Mission
The officers are volunteers.The friends of the Library recently had a change in the treasurers position. While going through the files the new treasurer found that the 2021 990N was not filed. After further research the treasurer established that the Friends of the Library Foundation needed to file a 990 EZ due to the donations, grants and fundraising received in 2021 was over the amount for a 990N. This funds raised was mostly due to grants for a building project that was supposed to be started in 2021 but due to Covid and various issues the building has been pushed back and will start March 2023. This is the first year that the Friends of the Library Foundation has had to file a 990 EZ.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.

3 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 54% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 97% · 2022 98% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $18k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
