Overview

Mission

Homosassa lions club was chartered by lions clubs international to address the needs of the local community in and around homosassa, Florida. We have served the needy of the local community for over 50 years.

What it reported doing in 2025

The lions club adopted eyesight preservation as the primary focus of our charitable giving. Although the club supports many charities and assists community organizations in many ways. Eyesight receives most of the clubs effort and resources. Eyesight assistance takes many forms from cataract surgery for the elderly to eyeglasses for youngste whose families cannot afford the prescription glasses themselves. The club provides free vision screening to the citrus county school system each fall.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 86% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
