Overview
Mission
Our goal is to strive for our players' academic and athletic excellence by promoting team unity and sportsmanship
What it reported doing in 2024
The gridiron club raises money to support our student-athletes and coaches at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Thus, the gridiron club supports the football program in several ways: by helping it meet its operational needs, such as providing compensation for coaches, scouts, and film software. By helping it meet its capital needs, including equipment, in areas that are not met by the d-s school athletic budget or by the d-s boosters. By providing football-specific publications, awards, and food that enhance the players' experience and build team spirit. By advocating for the football program with the administration and wider community. By providing whatever else the gridiron club feels is beneficial for the football program as needs arise.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
