Overview
Mission
The Lakes Area Youth Trap Club provides youth in Dickinson County, Iowa with safe, structured, and educational opportunities to participate in the clay target sports. The organization promotes firearm safety, sportsmanship, personal responsibility, and skill development through supervised training and competitive events.
What it reported doing in 2025
During the 2025 tax year, the Lakes Area Youth Trap Club provided coaching, safety instruction, and competitive clay target shooting opportunities to local youth athletes. Certified volunteer coaches delivered training in firearm safety, proper shooting techniques, and responsible range conduct. The program served 62 youth athletes, held 11 practices, and participated in 8 league events. Athletes also competed in the Iowa SCTP State Trap Championship. Program funds supported range fees, equipment needs, safety gear, and competition expenses, directly advancing the organization's mission to educate youth in safe and responsible participation in the clay target sports.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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
SUPPORTED - 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.
