Overview
Mission
Hartsville northern league (hnl) is a baseball league that runs in affiliation with diamond youth baseball (formerly, dixie youth baseball). Our goal is to be a place where children in the hartsville community can grow as a baseball player and enjoy being a part of a team. Our hope is to continue our growth as a league to be able to teach more kids about the exciting game of baseball. The main purpose of the program is to provide a recreation outlet for as many as possible with emphasis being on local league play rather than tournament play. The real purpose of diamond youth baseball is not winning championships, but teaching youngsters to play baseball while having fun, how to do their best and accept the results, to work each day to make their playing ability a little better than it was yesterday, but never forgetting the fun one gets from playing the game.
What it reported doing in 2025

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
