Overview

Mission

Libertyville Girls Softball Association (LGSA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a high-quality, safe, and fun softball program for girls ages 4-18 in the Libertyville area. It promotes sportsmanship, skill development, and teamwork through both recreational house leagues and organized travel leagues.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Association promotes youth softball by providing instruction, training, and competitive playing opportunities for girls of all skill levels, from preschool through high school. Programs are designed to develop individual and team skills, encourage sportsmanship, build confidence, and foster positive social connections through participation in organized athletics. As a volunteer-driven organization, the Association supports its programs through coaching, field maintenance, equipment, uniforms, and the management of teams and league operations, ensuring accessible and inclusive opportunities for youth participation in softball.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
