Overview
Mission
Lewiston little league playground (formerly elliot ave playground) is an organization for which boys and girls from ages of 4-15 can participate in the sports of baseball and softball. Local directors, coaches and other volunteers provide leadership, guidance, training, and coaching to participating players. Activities take place at our facilities at 9 jacqueline avenue and 20 martin drive in lewiston. Games and practices take place at other local fields and facilities as well. The organization focuses 100 percent of total time allocation of available time toward the aforementioned primary activities. 100 percent of funding comes from player registrations and donations from local residents and businesses. All expenses are for costs, maintenance, improvements, upkeep, and utilities directly related to the primary objectives of the organization. The organization operates and has always relied 100 percent on volunteers so there is zero payroll.
What it reported doing in 2024
Operation of youth baseball and softball league that serves over 300 boys and girls from the ages of 4-15.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 72% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
