Overview

Mission

Amateur lacrosse team for Arizona state university male students

What it reported doing in 2024

The amateur lacrosse team for the male students of Arizona state university competes competively and the Arizona state university provides only minimal financial support. The funding is derived by dues, donations, and fundraising activities. The team competes in the southwest lacrosse conference of the mens collegiate lacrosse association know as the mcla. The mcla has over 200 teams from colleges and universties across the country where the lacrosse teams are not intercollegiate sports under ncaa. The team has regular seasons and competes for both conference and national playoff participation. These funds cover all of the teams travel and coaches expense.

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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
