Overview

Mission

Youth activities and sports programs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Inland Circle provided youth sports program services for the Moreno Valley Unified School Districts six middle schools. Services include five sports, each with five weeks of competition and tournament activities: track, volleyball, futsal soccer, flag football, and basketball. For the 2024-2025 program season, a total of 995 students participated.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 97% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
