Overview

Mission

East Sacramento Little League provides a safe, fun, and competitive environment for youth baseball and softball in the East Sacramento community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The east sacramento little league has proven to help children enrolled in our programs to learn the importance and to practice better social skills such as teamwork and cooperation. The organization provides a spring, summer and fall baseball and softball program for children of the ages 8-12 years old.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
