Overview

Mission

Encouraging and supporting good sportsmanship in youths by raising funds and distributing scholarships to college bound scholar athletes in the southeastern Connecticut area.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization distributed fifty-three scholarships of 1,000 each to college bound scholar athletes. The selection process is as follows: 1. Interested student athletes submit an application with official high school transcript and recommendations from persons of athletic influence. 2. Scholarship applicants are selected by an awards committee based on the applicants transcript and transcript data. 3. Applicants selected may participate in a personal interview with the scholarship committee. Each year five individuals are selected to participate in the awards committee to singly and collectively choose the top twenty percent of applicants. The executive committee then selects the final number of scholarships to be awarded that year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 77% 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
