What Triangle Lightninginc does
Mission
It's the mission of triangle lightning to cultivate an environment that develops young ladies both on and off the field. We are dedicated to the idea of inspiring our players rather than intimidating and manipulating them. Softball is the podium we use to shape the lives of the young ladies we are privileged to coach. We believe a culture built on integrity, sportsmanship, hard work, respect, and servant leadership will develop character-driven players and prepare them to be " leaders for life".
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The organization fields girl's softball teams in various age groups ranging from 8 - 18. Team membership is selected based upon the ability of the individual to play the sport with each team consisting of approximately 14 players. The goal of the organization is to focus on the player's development and growth, both on and off the field.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $41,657.
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. 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 2022 to 2023, from $9k to $23k (+167%).
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.
82% of TRIANGLE LIGHTNINGINC’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. 4 of the last 8 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.

Where its funders are
77% of TRIANGLE LIGHTNINGINC's grant income comes from North Carolina funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $179 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.
