Overview

Mission

A youth rodeo organization that has allowed youth ages5-19 to participate for the opportunity to win prizes, money and scholarships.

What it reported doing in 2025

We hold 5-10 rodeos each year for the benefit of the youth participating in youth rodeo. These local rodeos have allowed the contestants the opportunity to qualify for the national little britches finals rodeo which is also a 501c3. The contestants also have the opportunity to compete for prizes and scholarships.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
