What Rock Island Girls Softball League does
Mission
Providing a low-cost summertime softball activity for girls. Provides recreation and opportunity for the girls to develop their individual and collective talents. It also strives to instill fundamentally good habits and attitudes toward competition, sportsmanship and teamwork.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The Rock Island Girls Softball League is a self-supporting, 501(c)3 organization that has been serving the girls of Rock Island and Milan since 1971.

We are dedicated to providing a low cost, recreational activity for girls between the ages of nine and eighteen years old. The league is broken down into two age divisions, 9-13 years old and 14-18 years old. Our objective is to provide a fun, recreational league for our players.

The registration fee is $25 to play. NO ONE is ever turned away due to the inability to pay. Every girl in the league is required to…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $27k to $48k (+75%).
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.
62% of ROCK ISLAND GIRLS SOFTBALL LEAGUE’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $3k → $10k.
3 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 53% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
ROCK ISLAND GIRLS SOFTBALL LEAGUE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
53% 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 ROCK ISLAND GIRLS SOFTBALL LEAGUE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 99% · 2023 84% — diversifying over time.
“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
53% of ROCK ISLAND GIRLS SOFTBALL LEAGUE'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. Of the $23k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Illinois, across 1 state.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $27k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states 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.
