What Livingston Business Improvement Dis does
Mission
The mission of the lbid is to facilitate an improved business climate, which is heavily dependent on tourism. The lbid also improves the functional characteristics of the business district, such as enhancing the streetscape, conducting the maintenance that the city of livingston does not have the funds to perform, improving security and safety, conserving the historical nature of the downtown area, and develop a strong, aggressive marketing program to advertise the area. The lbid was formed in 2011 after a majority (60%+)of the downtown business owners signed a petition in favor of creating the district,which was then approved by the city commission. In fiscal 2021, by vote of the city commission, the lbid was renewed for an additional 10 years, expiring in march 2031. Property owners within the district pay an additional tax to fund the purposes of the lbid.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Some of the ongoing programs funded by the lbid include graffiti mitigation, maintenance of sidewalk trash cans, installing and maintaining flower baskets, holiday decorations, and a banner program to advertise local nonprofits and events. Lbid also participated financially and collaboratively with other local nonprofits to develop a single brand identity and advertising campaign. The organization has also taken on the project of enhancing and installing the annual holiday decorations in the downtown area. Since 2021, the lbid has also receiving funding from the convention and visitors bureau to further promote tourism in the area, as well as handle incoming funds from the tourism business improvement district. Small grants were made to other nonprofits in the downtown area, who promote similar missions. The largest event of the year is the annual light up livingston holiday event. Lbid pairs with several other nonprofits, including the holiday lights committee, the depot foundation, and local schools. This event has grown over the past three years to thousands of attendees, many of them out-of-town tourists as word has spread.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2024, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2024, 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 2024 to 2025, from $263k to $210k (−20%).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 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.
From the IRS filings of LIVINGSTON BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DIS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. 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 LIVINGSTON BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DIS'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. $8k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
