Overview

Mission

The organization's mission is to provide opportunities for boys to play the game of Lacrosse in Louisiana and for Louisiana based lacrosse players to play at a competitive level across the country.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our accomplishes for 2025 include: GTGLL has continued to sponsor and assist in introducing the game of lacrosse to youth in South Louisiana. Beginning in 2023, GTGLL began recovering from the impact of COVID-19 with more youth boys interested in the sport. Unfortunately, while more traditional southern sports have resumed, lacrosse has suffered with inadequate field space and lack of publicity about the sport in Louisiana. The community support for GTGLL has continued and GTGLL is looking forward to additional programing in the coming years. This year GTGLL provided uniforms and equipment to 28 boys and provided grants to two boys to travel to lacrosse tournaments.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 88% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
