Overview

Mission

Youth Development Programs Through the Game of Golf

What it reported doing in 2024

After-School Enrichment Programs: We served nearly 100 kids through our after-school junior golf youth development programs for the children of three non-profit service organizations, Girls Place, Reichert House and Shand's Children's Hospital.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 67% 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.
