Overview
Mission
Our mission is to give Black and Brown youth access to the slopes, promoting diversity and inclusion in winter sports, snowboarding in particular.
What it reported doing in 2024
Black Boarders CT serves youth of color, introducing them to winter snowboarding. BBCT provides equipment, lessons, lift tickets and field trips in Connecticut and out-of-state.During fiscal year 2025, Black Boarders CT held 6 weekly classes for 25 Black and Brown youth, allowing them to spend time in nature, learn to snowboard, and promote diversity and inclusion in winter sports, particularly snowboarding. The 6 weekly classes took place at Mt. Southington, where the youth received instruction from AASI-certified instructors. Our East Coast culminating trip was a visit to Stratton Mountain in Vermont, where the youth were able to explore varied terrain at a higher altitude. A small group ended the season by traveling to Aspen, Colorado, where they showcased their skills on hills outside of Connecticut.
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
- 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
