Overview
Mission
We believe everyone has something to give and that privately funding deserving children's charities is a worthwhile endeavor. We are a collection of friends and sports fans that come together to play wiffle ball and pickleball for charity.
What it reported doing in 2024
In 2024, over $70,000 was raised by the community pickleball and wiffleball leagues. These funds are earmarked for distribution to local and national public children's charities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.
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.
