What The Charlotte News does
Mission
The mission of The Charlotte News is to inform our readers about current events, issues and topics, and to serve as a forum for the free exchange of views of town residents and community volunteer organizations on matters related to charlotte and the lives of its residents.
As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The organization publishes a community based newspaper with an approximate circulation of 3,000, dedicated to informing townspeople of current events and issues serving as a forum for the free exchange of views of the town residents and celebrating the people, places, and happenings that make the town of charlotte unique.
The program described on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.
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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $38k to $3k (−93%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
