Overview

Mission

The Lutheran Sports Association of Illinois facilitates tournaments for Lutheran schools throughout the state of Illinois, providing state championships in multiple sports for grade school and high school students.

What it reported doing in 2024

Through a board and staff comprised only of voluteers, organized and sponsored several althetic leagues and tournaments during the year at the local, regional and statewide levels, for Lutheran congregations and schools at both the grade school and high school levels, including basketball, volleyball, track and field, cross country and cheerleading.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
