What Lakes Area Pickleball Association does
Mission
The purpose for which this corporation is formed is to serve a charitable and educational purpose by: enhancing the health and welfare of the general public in the Brainerd/Baxter/East Gull Lakes area through the promotion of the sport of pickleball through educational activities which may include but are not limited to: sponsoring and conducting pickleball tournaments, offering pickleball exhibitions, training, lessons and instructional play; and to strive to reduce the financial burden of the Brainerd/Baxter/East Gull Lakes area municipality for the construction, improvements and maintenance of pickleball courts.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
In our second year of operation, we have been receiving donations and memberships to support the city of East Gull Lake, MN build pickleball courts as part of a community park. We have been assisting with design elements and guiding discussions on how the courts should be used and maintained. The funds raised will be donated to the City of East Gull Lake at such time that construction begins.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 LAKES AREA PICKLEBALL ASSOCIATION’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.
Where its funders are
100% of LAKES AREA PICKLEBALL ASSOCIATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
