Freedom reads' mission is to bring joy, inspire hope, and help those inside confront what prison does to the spirit. We bring beautiful, handcrafted bookcases into prisons, transforming cellblocks into freedom libraries. The freedom library is a physical intervention into the landscape of plastic and steel and loneliness that characterizes prison. In an environment where the freedom to think, to contribute to a community, and even to dream about what is possible is too often curtailed, freedom reads reminds those inside that they have not been forgotten.

“The 990 is reviewed by the organization's cfo and controller, who then review the 990 with the ceo. Once those reviews are completed, the draft 990 will be provided to the board chair for review and input before filing.”
“The conflict of interest policy is discussed annually at a board meeting to address any conflicts of interest.”
“The board used the candid employee compensation guide as well as other sources for setting the salary of the ceo.”
“A summary version of the financial statements will be posted on the organization's website which is under new construction and a link will be provided to the 990. In addition, these documents may be provided upon request.”

“COMMUNICATIONS.”
“The organization, under chapter 602 of the connecticut revised nonstock corporation act as a tax-exempt entity, has been granted tax-exempt status under internal revenue code section 501(c)(3), and is, therefore, generally exempt from federal and state income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been provided for in the accompanying financial statements. Asc 740-10, "income taxes", requires the organization to evaluate and disclose tax positions that could have an effect on the organization's financial statements. The organization reports its activities to the internal revenue service and to the state of connecticut on an annual basis. This informational return is generally subject to audit and review by the governmental agencies for a period of three years after filing. Substantially all of the organization's income, expenditures and activities relate to its exempt purpose, therefore, management has determined that the organization is not subject to material unrelated business income taxes and will continue to qualify as tax-exempt.”
