Overview

Mission

Fundamental skill development for Alaska youth ball players at every age level to support and supplement local programming.

What it reported doing in 2024

Gamers sports travel (GST) supports underserved Alaskan ball players from all regions of the state through opportunities to participate in structured league play, instructional camps, potential travel for out-of-state tournaments, and striving for academic and athletic excellence. In 2024, GST supported 9 teams (consisting of 12-15 players) through travel, events throughout the United States. These events provide exposure to post high school playing opportunities. Additionally GST offers instructional camp programs for players ages 7-18 consisting of camps, group training, and individual training.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 65% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
