Charitable organization which supports children through baseball.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Transfer-based 990-EZ. The 990-EZ reports grants or member benefits, but it does not separate enough spending to show the nonprofit’s full delivery mix.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. Assets have declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
