Overview

Mission

Imperial Beach Lions Club is a nonprofit public benefit corporation organized to create and foster a spirit of understanding amoung the people of the world, promote good governement and citizenship and to take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Imperial Beach Lions Club is commiteed to helping support eye health in our community by offering free vision screening and eyeglasses for those in need. Lions take this seriously and focus the service on children because their eye health can greatly impact their ability to succeed in school and in their future.Fortunately, during this fiscal year, services were provided to ten different elementary schools in the community with at least 30 students per school. This service also helps the children get eyeglasses at no charge to them.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
