As stated on its FY2018 Form 990.
Program
In 2015, City Lacrosse began offering lacrosse clinics in pe classes in 6 middle schools in south la and inglewood. From those clinics, a 10-week after-school spring season was born engaging 81 boys and girls in 6th and 7th grade. In the summer of 2015, City Lacrosse operated 2 travel teams and conducted an overnight camp in collaboration with the oakland lacrosse club. Today, City Lacrosse operates year-round programming and serves more than 250 participants across 6 program sites in south la, inglewood and compton. All of the organizations programs are free of charge to their participants and in fy 2016 (9/1/2015 - 8/31/2016), the organization offered more than 250 hours of programming to kids the organization serves. City larosse has grown significantly since its inception and have opened many new opportunities for growth. Daily there are new prospective program partners inquiring about bringing the organizations programs to their sites. In the 8/31/18 fiscal year, City Lacrosse merged its operations with harlem lacrosse and leadership, a 501(c)(3) organization, ein# 45-1634118. The organization is filing a final tax return for the year ended 8/31/18.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $33k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2018: the base narrowed from 5 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $68k → $4k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CITY LACROSSE’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CITY LACROSSE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 40% of grant income and the top three 74%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
79% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CITY LACROSSE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 42% · 2018 100% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
51% of CITY LACROSSE's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $29k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
