THE FRIENDS SENT $655,000 TO THE LIBRARY IN 2023, INCLUDING $120,000 IN UNRESTRICTED FUNDS. THIS REPRESENTS 3% OF THE LIBRARY'S ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET. FRIENDS ANNUAL FUNDRAISING SUPPORTS ONGOING LIBRARY PRIORITIES SUCH AS INNOVATION THROUGH PILOT PROGRAMS, CHILDREN AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT, AND DIGITAL EQUITY AND ECONOMIC INCLUSION. IN 2023, THE FRIENDS ESTABLISHED A NEW CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILY ENDOWMENT TO SUPPORT THE LIBRARY'S WORK ON BEHALF OF SAINT PAUL CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN PERPETUITY.

ADVOCACY. IN 2023, FRIENDS ADVOCACY EFFORTS CONTRIBUTED TO AN INCREASED ALLOCATION OF $150,000 TOWARD SPENDING ON LIBRARY COLLECTIONS IN THE 2024 LIBRARY BUDGET.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
