Overview
Mission
Colorado Sled Hockey Association (CSH) is committed to bringing the sport of hockey to our disabled community, providing a competitive environment to encourage independence, challenge the strengths, test commitments, promote team building, and cultivate social skills. CSH prides itself on offering an inclusive environment to bring about positive change in an athlete's life, our community, and beyond.
What it reported doing in 2024
CSH's structured sled hockey program, an adaptive form of ice hockey, consists of the following activities: On-ice practices - Sled hockey practices are scheduled primarily in the Denver region, at various locations. The on-ice practices, open to both youth and adult athletes, are the primary opportunity for disabled individuals to participate in the sport of sled hockey. Practices are conducted by team coaches and organization's directors, with assistance from on-ice volunteers. On-ice clinics - Throughout the year, CSH conducts introductory Try Sled Hockey clinics in an effort to introduce the sport to a wider audience. The clinic is posted through social media apps, sent via email, or networking with other local organizations and individuals with similar missions. CSH coaches, and athletes, with the assistance of its members, operates these clinics. Raising funds is critically important for CSH, and we work tirelessly to ensure we maintain continuous operations while adapting to changing circumstances and planning for the future. CSH relies on a combination of funding sources to include donations from generous individuals and organizations, which provide crucial financial support. Additionally, athletes pay season fees to contribute to program expenses, (i.e. ice and tournament costs) while fundraising events such as tournaments serve as essential avenues to raise funds and promote the sport of sled hockey within the community. Sled hockey significantly advances CSH's exempt purposes by promoting inclusivity and providing adaptive sports opportunities for individuals with physical disabilities. Through this program, CSH empowers and engages the Colorado community and beyond, while fostering a sense of belonging and physical activity among those who may face unique challenges in traditional sports settings.
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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
