Overview
Mission
We foster amateur sports training, games, gear that started with baseball and racing moto but mainly baseball. We work to provide amateur sports to kids that could not otherwise afford to play due to the high costs involved. Our nonprofit funds much of it out of our own personal funds but we are going to work to fundraise and engage area partners as the need is getting larger.
What it reported doing in 2024
We did not do much with the nonprofit in 2024 and 2025 and funded much of the youth activities out of our personal pockets so starting January 2026 we will look to grow this and support more globally. We have provided a site and equipment for both motocross and baseball to around 30 kids this year.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
