What Lawrence Restaurant Association does
Mission
The Lawrence Restaurant Association lra is an assembly of commercial restaurant owners, executive chefs and hospitality industry professionals who work together for the benefit of lawrence, ks and douglas county, ks. Lra aims to support hospitality industry workers, our community, economy and environment within douglas county, ks through funds, grants and community support programs. Lra was founded in 2017 with principal fundraising activities beginning in 2020. The hospitality workers relief fund relief fund was established by lra in 2020 to provide direct aid to unemployed and underemployed service industry workers as a result of the covid-19 pandemic. Lra intends to maintain the relief fund beyond the resolution of the pandemic to provide emergency aid to hospitality workers experiencing unforeseen financial hardships in addition to other community support causes such as hunger relief, food waste reduction and future programs.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $15k to $21k (+43%).
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 Lawrence Restaurant Association’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
