Overview
Mission
To actively serve the people of berks and chester county, pa by building permanent charitable capital, making philanthropic grants to needy individuals and families and providing those services through our lions, lioness and leo clubs that contribute to the health and vitality of their local community.
What it reported doing in 2024
Small grants to individuals and families based on needs that are closely related to those sponsored and supported by lionism, such as blind and low sight individuals. Grants are given where the money will improve quality of life for the individual recipient.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
