Overview
Mission
To strengthen communities by providing youth mentoring, educational resources, leadership development, community outreach, and charitable assistance through basketball-based programs and faith-centered initiatives, through the church. Through partnerships with local churches, schools, and community organizations, the program mobilized volunteers and community members to address youth violence, bullying, food insecurity, and family instability while creating sustainable pathways for ongoing discipleship and community engagement.
What it reported doing in 2025
Impact Players Association implemented the Community Impact Week in Cincinnati, OH; Killeen, TX; and Newport, KY to equip churches for sustainable community outreach through leadership development, member engagement, youth mentorship, and community service. The organization trained 60 church members and 10 youth leaders while reaching more than 800 individuals and directly serving more than 460 through shoes, diapers, groceries, books, gas cards, rental assistance, food assistance, anti-bullying initiatives, youth leadership development, basketball mentorship, and exposure trips. The program resulted in 47 documented spiritual decisions, two youth mentorship pipelines, two public advocacy initiatives, and measurable leadership development within participating churches.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
