Overview

Mission

Support football/cheerleading activities

What it reported doing in 2012

The participants are taught football and cheerleading through scheduled practices, games and tournaments. The association provides uniforms, organizes teams and conducts league activities

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
