Overview

Mission

Charitable service through hockey.

What it reported doing in 2017

Public awareness and financial support of other charities and scholarship support through exhibition hockey games. MORE THAN 550 INDIVIDUALS WERE BENEFITED FROM THIS PROGRAM.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 81% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
