Overview

Mission

The Georgetown Working League (GWL) has been serving our community since 1913. We raise funds for the community, award scholarships, and operate a summer thrift shop. Our members volunteer in many ways, including quilting, baking, and organizing a silent auction, all to support local needs.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Working League assisted with providing refreshments to a number of public events that occurred within Georgetown, including townwide potluck dinners, Christmas tree lighting and several celebrations of life for residents of Georgetown that had passed during the year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
