Mission and programs · 2024

• THE BIG FREE BOOKSTORE: IMAGINE A PLACE WHERE THE JOY OF READING IS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, WHERE THE SHELVES ARE STOCKED WITH A TREASURE TROVE OF STORIES WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED. THE BIG FREE BOOKSTORE IS EXACTLY THAT - A WELCOMING SPACE OFFERING HIGH-QUALITY, NEW, AND GENTLY USED BOOKS, WITH A SPECIAL FOCUS ON CHILDREN'S LITERATURE, YET PROVIDING RESOURCES FOR EVERY FAMILY MEMBER. OUR BOOKSTORE IS MORE THAN JUST A COLLECTION OF BOOKS; IT'S A VIBRANT COMMUNITY HUB. WITH RESOURCES SPANNING ALL AGES, WE ENSURE THAT THE JOY OF LITERARY EXPLORATION IS A SHARED FAMILY EXPERIENCE. FROM THE ENCHANTING WORLD OF CHILDREN'S FAIRY TALES TO THE THOUGHT-PROVOKING REALMS OF ADULT FICTION AND NON-FICTION, THERE'S SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE.

• BULK BOOK DISTRIBUTION: IN OUR QUEST TO MAKE LITERACY ACCESSIBLE TO ALL, THE BULK BOOK DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM BY REACH PLAYS A PIVOTAL ROLE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE POWER OF A BOOK EXTENDS FAR BEYOND ITS PAGES, AND OUR MISSION IS TO ENSURE THAT THIS POWER REACHES AS MANY HANDS AS POSSIBLE. WE WORK CLOSELY WITH A NETWORK OF PARTNER AGENCIES IN THE AREA, PROVIDING THEM WITH NEW BOOKS AT LITTLE TO NO COST. THESE AGENCIES AND PROGRAMS, WHICH QUALIFY BASED ON THEIR COMMITMENT TO LITERACY AND COMMUNITY SERVICE, BECOME CONDUITS FOR SPREADING KNOWLEDGE AND JOY THROUGH BOOKS.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
