Overview

Mission

The corporation is organized exclusively for charitable, literary, or educational purposes under section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code of 1986. COBA is dedicated to providing young athletes with the opportunity to grow physically and mentally through the great sport of baseball. COBA is focused on providing an environment which fosters physical fitness, discipline, sportsmanship and community through baseball by offering youth players the opportunity to participate in community service events, mentorship programs, training programs as well as competitive and non-competitive baseball programs.

What it reported doing in 2018

In 2018 COBA was able to bring the the community together through year-round baseball programs servicing over 1,500 players from ages 4 - 16. This is accomplished through instructional seasons held in the summer and fall as well as competitive seasons held in the winter and spring. COBA also holds an annual Goodwill tournament for 8 year old players which brings together youth teams from all over the state of Hawaii. COBA also is honored to participate in the annual Champions league which provides baseball programs for children with special needs and disabilities.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 - 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.

  • High — Grant Readiness: Automatic revocation: this organization had its federal tax-exempt status automatically revoked.
