Overview

Mission

The mission of Louisiana shockers athletics is to provide an opportunity for our youth to develop into, not only great athletes, but also great young men & women. The discipline they will learn from softball experience will extend into their daily lives, now and in the future, and the success achieved from hard work and perseverance through adversity will teach life lessons that will extend far beyond the diamond. We are committed to creating a sense of sportsmanship, teamwork and we promote positive social, emotional and physical development in our players. It is also our goal to help create memories that will last these young women throughout their life, and that otherwise would not be possible.

What it reported doing in 2024

Through the efforts of coporate leadership and local support, we were able to establish an organization for our youth to develop, on and off the field, while competing at a high level, learning invaluable life lessons. Our 501(c)(3) status availed us the opportunity to generate revenue via donations, fundraisers and sponsorships, providing funds to pay for equipment, uniforms, supplies, and tournament entry fees/expenses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 74% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and assets have declined or grown slowly.
