Overview

Mission

All of the activities support athletic, extra-curricular academic activities, and college scholarships for students in the galion city schools.

What it reported doing in 2025

All expenses relate to the fund-raising of the organization or the college scholarships and support provided to athletics and other extra-curricular activities in the galion schools.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 64% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
