Sprague Little League is incredibly proud of every team that has the opportunity to represent our league in postseason tournament play. Advancing through District and State competition to reach the Little League Regional Tournament is an extraordinary accomplishment, and we are committed to supporting our players, families, and volunteers throughout that journey.
As postseason activities continue, we recognize there may be questions regarding team fundraising, league donations, and how charitable contributions are administered. We hope the following information provides helpful clarification.

As a chartered Little League organization and nonprofit corporation, Sprague Little League is responsible for administering all charitable donations and fundraising conducted on behalf of the league or its teams. This ensures compliance with Little League International policies, nonprofit governance requirements, and applicable financial and tax obligations.
These requirements are intended to promote financial accountability, protect charitable contributions, and ensure that all funds raised on behalf of Sprague Little League are used only for Little League-approved purposes and in accordance with nonprofit compliance standards.
While individual All-Star team managers are responsible for organizing and coordinating fundraising activities to help offset tournament-related expenses for their team, those activities are conducted on behalf of Sprague Little League. Accordingly, all funds generated through league-approved fundraising, as well as all charitable donations received on behalf of the league or its teams, are received, administered, accounted for, and disbursed by the league for their intended use.
Part of the purpose of handling fundraising this way is to help ensure that fundraising proceeds are administered in a manner that equally supports all eligible players and coaches.
We are grateful for the generosity of our families, local businesses, sponsors, and community members who continue to support our players. Your contributions help create opportunities for our young athletes while ensuring Sprague Little League continues to operate responsibly, transparently, and in accordance with the standards established by Little League International.
Thank you for your continued support of Sprague Little League and the players who proudly represent our league.
Respectfully,
