Overview

Mission

Provides recreational and competitive atmosphere to benefit hundreds of Madera area youth.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Organization forms leagues and teams, with the help of its member volunteers, to participate in organized baseball activities. All games are held on the campus of Madera High School and Madera South High School. Typically an average of 150-200 youth, ages 13, 14 & 15 participate.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 84% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 96% 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.
