What it reported doing in 2013

Ethos Soccer Club - provided youth (boys and girls) competitive level soccer skills training (including team play, clinics & camps) for youth teams for beginners and entry-level youth in the surrounding community (ages 9 - 14).During 2013, there were 250 youths registered in the Club's teams, and 100 youths attended the camps and clinics.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 75% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
