Mission

Advancement of education of lacrosse

What it reported doing in 2024

The pascack lacrosse association was formed for the advancement of education in providing skills, techniques, training, and to promote the development of lacrosse through the organization to the general public.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 98% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
