Overview
Mission
To provide a recreational softball program that gives girls from 1st to 8th grade a chance to compete in a supportive and fun environment at any skill level, and to offer opportunities to play in summer softball leagues and/or tournaments in a more competitive setting.
What it reported doing in 2025
Accept donations for the use by the borough of emerson's recreation dept. In support of the girl's softball program.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
