Overview

Mission

Bismarck Youth Fastpitch Softball Association (BYFSA) is a recreational youth fastpitch softball organization run by volunteers. Our programs include recreational leagues, competitive travel teams, and camps/clinics throughout the year for all ages! This organization is designed to provide a safe and fun place for kids to play fastpitch softball while building sportsmanship and camaraderie. We encourage participants of all ages and skill levels to come out and join us!

What it reported doing in 2025

Summer Softball League - This program is to enable players to learn the game of fastpitch softball in a fun and stimulating environment. The main focus is on developing the skills necessary to help players succeed and be the best softball players they can be. 424 athletes ages 5-18 participated in 2025. Expenses include jerseys, field use, End of year tournament, umpire fees, and equipment need for the sport. We also provide scholarships for families who cannot afford the cost of the participation fees.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
