Overview

Mission

To serve inner-city middle and high school boys and girls through teaching and basketball.

What it reported doing in 2024

East side basketball club (esbc) is a New York-based 501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to educate, mentor, and develop youth through the game of basketball. The organization provides year-round basketball instruction, competitive team participation, and leadership development programs that promote physical fitness, teamwork, discipline, sportsmanship, confidence, and academic achievement for boys and girls ages 8-17. Program revenue is used exclusively to further the organization's exempt purpose by supporting operating expenses, including gym rentals, league and tournament entry fees, travel and lodging for competitions, coaching and training, equipment, insurance, and other program-related costs necessary to deliver these educational and athletic opportunities. Through these activities, esbc seeks to provide a safe, structured, and affordable environment that fosters positive youth development and prepares participants for success both on and off the court.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 92% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
