What Noyes Children's Library Foundationinc does
Mission
Support for historic children's library
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2025, the foundation supported early literacy in the community with outdoor illustrated walks with children's books. These allowed children and their caregivers to access literature and learning in local parks to supplement the literacy activities at the noyes children's library. The foundation also provided volunteers and activities for a local community train show that includes stories, songs, and an "I spy" activity and sponsored a community "dance party" for young children and their families, and participated in the day of the book literary festival in kensington, maryland. Additionally, the foundation continued to work with state, county, and town lawmakers to secure promised funding for the renovation of noyes children's library.

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 $804k to $968k (+20%).
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.
Government-grant reliance: 2024 57%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
72% of NOYES CHILDREN'S LIBRARY FOUNDATIONINC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
47% 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 NOYES CHILDREN'S LIBRARY FOUNDATIONINC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 78% · 2020 100% · 2021 98% · 2022 98% · 2023 96% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $121k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
