Overview

Mission

Since its inception, lilley cares' historic purpose has been to serve the spring lake community and its local non-profit organizations through the initiation and support of local events, festivals, and beautification efforts. Just as the lilley mansion has inspired us as a symbol of a both historic and reborn spring lake, lilley cares moves forward to a new phase of its mission made possible by the gift of the beautiful hampton green farm. Lilley cares has accepted this gift with the vision of a unique event and retreat venue serving nonprofits and the community alike. Lilley cares' stewardship of hampton green farm will mean we can partner more dynamically with charities, educational organizations, service organizations, and local business to work toward making spring lake and the surrounding communities a better place to live, work, and raise the next generation of citizens and philanthropists.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our signature event is sparkle and we focused entirely on this program in 2023. Our goal is to raise funds to bring the holiday kick off event to downtown spring lake, then host holiday related events throughout the month of december.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 73% 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

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
