Overview

Mission

The primary purpose of the organization is to raise funds to make distributions to other organizations that qualify as exempt organizations. To facilitate raising funds for this purpose, our principal method of receiving contributions is through a softball league

What it reported doing in 2025

LVOG seeks to build and enhance a sense of pride in the Glenview community by promoting the physical and mental health of the community through the game of slow-pitch softball, social gatherings and volunteerism. Through these activities we are able to support local charitable and nonprofit organizations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 80% for direct work, and 20% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
