Overview

Mission

We enable motivated and talented youth from at-risk backgrounds to fulfill their academic, athletic and personal potential.

What it reported doing in 2024

City squash works with third grade through high school students in the bronx on a year-round basis, providing them with academic tutoring, squash instruction, community service, and mentoring.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
