Overview

Mission

Club dedicated to multi-sport programs for children. Our primary focus is on youth development in sports such as soccer, basketball, and running - with more expected in future years. Blackhawks offer an affordable (non-profit) alternative to the for profit youth sports models that are prevalent in our area.

What it reported doing in 2025

Our soccer program is our largest for participation, revenue, and expenses. We serve over 450 players with the season going from August 2025 to June 2026. Most of our fee collection occurs in 2025 but expenses are spread out until the end of the soccer season in June 2026. The program provided seasonal leagues, weekly practices, licensed coaching, and regional league and tournament participation. Financial assistance was provided to 10 families regardless of their ability to pay.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 95% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
