Overview

Mission

The purpose of the organization is to celebrate faith through sports and to use soccer as the platform to promote leadership, confidence, and spiritual growth to athletes, coaches, and people in the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization supports the waco and fort cavazos area by host festivals that focus on faith, food, and soccer in under resourced communities in the waco area. The organization teaches community members to live courageously and experience the gift of god's presence in their lives through trials and triumphs of sport. The organization partners with local waco schools to train kids in our pillars of work, serve and skill through an 8-week semester session.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% 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

SUPPORTED - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
