Overview
Mission
Keep The Change Inc. exist for the purpose of positively impacting the world of sports and different communities throughout our country, and around the world thru hands on service and holistic care. Our vision is to see the world of sports dominated by selfless leaders who "walk louder than they talk".
What it reported doing in 2024
"In The Game" Chaplaincy Program: designed to help athletes, coaches, and their families as they face the spiritual and emotional impact of being fully immersed in an academic and competitive environment. We were fortunate to serve tens of thousands of individuals this fiscal year. Through strategic messages to players and around the clock availability to teams, this was accomplished. The objective now and in the future is to improve the quality of life for athletes and help them navigate the setbacks and challenges they face daily, with an emphasis on mental health.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
