Overview
Mission
Squashwise partners with baltimore's youth and families to advance equity in squash, education, and personal development opportunities. We are a dedicated agent of change providing a place where students reach their academic, athletic, and life goals and where the squash community becomes more accessible and welcoming for all.
What it reported doing in 2024
Squashwise's youth development program prepares baltimore city public school students for success in school and in life. Each year, more than 80% of our graduates matriculate to college and 100% have a solid post- secondary plan for college, career entry, military, or votech training. Our students compete in more that a dozen squash matches and tournaments each year, developing confidence and self-efficacy as athletes. In our school squash programs, we introduce more thatn 750 public school students to quash each year through our in-school pe clinics and field trips. Our community squash programs include community squash nights and women's and girls' clinics, which are free and open to the public, and our memberships are offered at accessible price points to foster economic inclusion in the sport of squash.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 83% 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
