Santa Barbara Lacrosse Association finances

From the annual returns the group files with the IRS (Form 990, or the shorter Form 990-EZ for smaller groups), 1 filed year. Net assets are what it owns minus what it owes; management and general is office, admin and insurance cost. A dash means not reported (the short form does not ask for employees or volunteers). Each figure links to that year's return. A year is left out when no return is in the IRS e-file data; that does not mean the group was inactive.

Where the money goes, year ending Dec 2021

• Programs $750 (33% of $2,284)

Small groups file the shorter Form 990-EZ, which reports program spending but not the management and fundraising split.

• Program fees $0 (0%)
