What is an Organizational Home?
As an Organizational Home, Lyrasis provides resources and services to help grow, support and amplify these communities, enabling them to focus on program-specific needs and priorities, free from the burden of building common types of infrastructure that are necessary for long-term success and sustainability. These services include, but are not limited to fiscal services, internal IT support, human resources and other critical supportive infrastructure. Each program operates independently and has its own model to support individual sustainability. Membership or affiliation to each program is separate from membership to Lyrasis.
