Overview

Mission

Dream big fore Montana youth is a youth development organization introducing the game of golf and its inherent values to young people. Through after-school and in-school programs, we help shape the lives of young people from all walks of life by reinforcing values like integrity, respect and perseverance through the game of golf.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2022, our participant numbers were 117. We were able to adjust our curriculum so that kids were grouped by age and then skill level. We were able to teach kids where their skills were instead of by the number of years participating. It was an awesome year where we had 66 kids return from the year before and we were able to have 51 new players.

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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
