LASPA CARES FOR KIDS INC
EIN 46-2095293 · Children & Youth Services (P30)
What they do
to PROVIDE EYE CARE PROGRAMS to POOR, DISTRESSED, UNDERPRIVILEGED NEEDY or AT RISK CHILDREN. THIS INCLUDES, BUT is NOT LIMITED TO, PROVIDING EYE EXAMS and PRESCRIPTION GLASSES AS WELL AS OTHER PREVENTATIVE EYE CARE SERVICES. ALLOWING ACCESS to BETTER VISION for THESE CHILDREN WILL ALLOW THEM to SUCCEED IN SCHOOL and PARTICIPATE IN ATHLETIC PROGRAMS. SUCCESS IN SCHOOL and PARTICIPATION IN ATHLETICS MAKES THE CHILD LESS LIKELY to BE AT RISK for GANG RECRUITMENT or to PARTICIPATE IN DETRIMENTAL BEHAVIOR. THIS ALLOWS THE CHILD AN OPPORTUNITY to GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL and BECOME A PRODUCTIVE and SUCCESSFUL MEMBER of SOCIETY. IN ADDITION, DUE to THE ECONOMIC CLIMATE, MANY FAMILIES ARE FACING FINANCIAL HARDSHIP. LASPA CARES for KIDS HAS AN "ADOPT A FAMILY" PROGRAM THAT PROVIDES MEALS and TOYS for THOSE FAMILIES THAT STRUGGLE THROUGH THE THANKSGIVING and CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY SEASONS.
Should I give to this charity?
Of every $100 spent, about $100.00 was reported for mission work. Use the spending picture below and ask what results that work produced.
Plain answer: A tax form cannot prove that a charity is doing good. It can show how the charity says it spent its money—and point out questions you should ask.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue by $77,177 this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
Financial picture
A plain-language look at the latest Form 990 figures available. These numbers help you ask better questions; they do not, by themselves, rate whether a charity is good or bad.
How each $100 of revenue was used
The large number compares each expense with revenue. The smaller number shows its share of total expenses.
Gray means reported revenue left after expenses for this filing year. It does not necessarily mean cash sitting in a bank account.
Has the pattern changed?
Colored bars = expense mix: how each year’s expenses were divided. Total expenses vs. revenue shows whether the charity spent less or more than it received. The current filing is first.
Money in and money out
Reported spending amounts
Mission work means the Form 990 category called program services. These are reported accounting categories—not an independent measurement of results.
