What it reported doing in 2024
The grove city buddy ball program is more than just baseball. It is about making new friends, building self-esteem and treating everyone equally. Buddy ball removes barriers that keep children and adults with mental and physical disabilities off the baseball field. Our teams play on the mirolo dream field, at mount carmel stadium, a custom designed tiled rubberized surface that will accommodate wheelchairs and other assistive devices.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 63% for direct work, and 37% for grants.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
