Overview

Mission

Lions causes and community service.

What it reported doing in 2024

Support various community service programs which benefit local schools, first responders, the elderly, food banks, and other local organizations to promote good citizenship and civic service.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 96% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
