Overview
Mission
Our purpose is to provide children with the education and health benefits of sports in an organized baseball setting. We teach the rules of the game as well as team building and sportsmanship that goes along with that purpose. We keep kids active and involved in the community.
What it reported doing in 2015
We participated in a number of local and travel baseball tournaments. 100 members benefitted.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Membership-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
- 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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
