NMLP is operated by one human — Josh Eldred — out of a public warehouse address. Donors verify legitimacy through multiple independent paths:
- NM Secretary of State business registration — NMLP is registered as a New Mexico business; the registration is publicly searchable at the NM Secretary of State website.
- Public warehouse address — 5445 Edith Blvd NE, Unit A, Albuquerque, NM 87107. The warehouse is at a real Google Maps address with a real outdoor donation box visible from the street.
- Public phone number — 702-496-4214 has been Josh's contact for the operation since 2024. Call or text any time.
- Public Google Business Profile with 5.0-star rating — verified Google reviews from named Albuquerque-area donors and partners.
- Documented partner relationships — see the donation recipients profiles for the four named institutional partners (APS Title I, UNM Children's Hospital reading program, Sunflower Meadow Park LFL, La Vida Llena Retirement Community).
- Public donation archive — the archive documents specific books that came through donation, with bibliographic detail and onward routing.
- Press kit at /press — for journalists doing additional vetting.
NMLP doesn't carry formal third-party background-check certification (no industry body provides it for single-operator donation services). The verification model is full operational transparency rather than a credential. See the verification page for full detail.
