Overview

Mission

AGSA's recreational and travel programs provide players a fun, supportive environment to learn softball, challenge themselves, make friends, and build confidence.

What it reported doing in 2024

Recruitment and assignment of players, ages 5-18, purchasing uniforms, hiring game officials in order to provide for competive softball games for each team in each age group.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 86% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
