Overview

Mission

FishHawk Youth Baseball was established under the Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth organization with a goal of providing a safe environment for the communitys youth to learn and compete in the game of baseball using a three tier approach: Recreational, Advanced and Competitive Baseball.

What it reported doing in 2025

The operation of all baseball programs for calendar year 2025 to include baseball camp and baseball programs for regular season, advanced baseball, competitive, and all-stars.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 82% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

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.
