Overview

Mission

Catching Hope offers FREE day camps to community youth. They Mentor the children on sportsmanship, health, community involvement, education and Self Esteem.

What it reported doing in 2012

Catching Hope hosts several FREE football clinics for area youth each year in various communities across the USA. The objective of these camps is to provide a platform to impart strong values, a basic knowledge of nutrition and the value of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Healthy lifestyle includes not smoking or drinking, the importance of rest and education, the concept that your body is a machine and to get the most out of it you need to put good fuel into it. We teach athletic skills along with life skills such as respect for yourself and others, the value of hard work and perseverance and discipline in your decision making. We take breaks periodically during the sessions to speak directly with the kids in an interactive environment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and the available information about grant readiness automatic revocation leaves an important question unanswered.
