Overview

Mission

To serve the community , those in need everywhere. We donate to local, state, and international needs.

What it reported doing in 2024

$27085 total charitable donations by the club including $4000 to Lions of MI Foundation, $4000 to Lions Bear Lake Camp (for challenged youth), $1000 to the American Legion, $7500 to the Laingsburg Public Library, $1000 to the Laingsburg Food Bank, and many others. We built handicapped ramps for those who needed them, installed many benches on the streets for citizen resting places, installed security cameras at Bates Scout Park (city park). There is no way of knowing the total number of people benefitting. but it has to be a very large number.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 95% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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 assets have declined or grown slowly.
