What it reported doing in 2015

We provided gymnastics and tumbling instructions for children 3 through 16, and provided physical fitness activities to local families. We worked closely with local public and private schools to offer safe, healthy and fun activities during non-school days. In the future, we are working with schools to provide physical education during school year and summer, for local families and foreign syudents. In addition, we are working on summer camp exchange opportunities with chinese organizations to improve cultural understanding and awareness for american and chinese children.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
