What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

TRU Education

The Truman Library Institute is committed to helping America’s teachers prepare our youth for a lifetime of active and informed citizenship through its education programs. This is possible through the presentation of historically significant museum exhibitions and innovative educational programs, including the White House Decision Center, Museum Tours, Reading Like A Historian, Educational Outreach, Research Grants and Awards program, teacher in-service training and workshops, the Summer Teacher Institute, student internships, and the National History Day competition. Each of these help teachers expose their students to history lessons outside of their textbooks and beyond their classroom walls. Combined with The ‘Bus Stops Here’ Field Trip Grant Program, these wonderful teaching tools can be made available to teachers and their students throughout Independence, Jackson County, and the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area, free of charge.

The 'Bus Stops Here" Field Trip Grant Program

The Truman Library Institute’s The ‘Bus Stops Here’ Field Trip Grant Program connects schools, businesses and our Greater Kansas City community by inviting everyone to be stakeholders in the educational process. As school districts' continue to slash budgets, teachers' abilities to expose their students to valuable learning opportunities outside of their classrooms has greatly diminished. In response, the Institute created The ‘Bus Stops Here’ Field Trip Grant Program in order to provide the funding necessary to underwrites museum admission fees and program-related expenses so students may access exhibitions and educational programs, like the White House Decision Center, Museum tours and the Truman Footlocker program...all free of charge.

Public Programs

The Truman Library Institute and Harry S. Truman Library and Museum present an exciting array of collaborative programs and events, including lectures that feature distinguished authors, journalists and political heads-of-state, family-friendly programming, and annual signature events (Howard & Virginia Bennett Forum on the Presidency and Wild About Harry). We seek to make a difference in how people - especially young people - feel about and become engaged in cultural experiences and citizenship activities by providing stimulating and thought-provoking public programs and forums. The Truman Library Institute is committed to sharing the stories of Harry Truman, the American presidency and our nation's government to ensure that future generations will come to know his legacy and appreciate our American democracy,

Whether in a live audience or via cable television, radio broadcasts or internet streaming, these engaging programs reach tens of thousands of individuals each year.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Oct 01 - Sep 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
