Overview

Mission

The ebsa believes that a healthy, cooperative attitude between the recreational in-town baseball and softball programs and the competitive traveling baseball and softball programs will provide the maximum benefit to both players and the community. The association promotes and supports sportsmanship and the development of softball and baseball fundamentals for boys and girls living in or attending school in the ellsworth community school district. The association strives for all who participate to have a positive and rewarding experience that will maximize personal and team growth.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
