Overview

Mission

Teaching golf to physically & mentally challenged individuals ages 6-83.

What it reported doing in 2012

Held a par 3 amputee tournment with 20 amputee & 80 participants.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 64% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
