Overview

Mission

To help youth by coordinating community actitivies funded by grants and individual contributions

What it reported doing in 2024

This nonprofit program was formed back in 2007 and helps children ages 6-14 build a bridge between sport and spirit. Its purpose is to help the youth at an early age in an effort to curtail possible deviant behavior in later years. The program has grown in youth participation and business/ community sponsorship each year.

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 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
