Overview

Mission

Our goal is to enable student athletes in the midwest to be successful in life both on and off the court. We believe in the life lessons that the game of basketball provides both youth athletes and parents and coaches. Etg is focused on providing all the support needed for players to get involved. One of etg's founding principles is to never turn away a player from our program due to financial reasons. The result of our mission should be players receiving opportunities to further their education or basketball careers setting them up for their future. However, we are not able to fulfill this vision without your support.

What it reported doing in 2024

Etg was able to provide partial financial assistance for things like travel, meals and player team registration costs to 60 basketball players and was able to provide full financial assistance to 36 of those 57 players in the 2025 season ending 9/30/2025. Because of the traveling basketball opportunities, our players received over 104 college scholarhip offers in the 2025 season. We were also able to provide many meals and nutritional plans to players in financial need. Our goal is to enable student athletes in the midwest to be successful in life both on and off the court.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 73% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
