Overview
Mission
To prepare underrepresented athletes for executive careers in competitive industries, including Fortune 500 companies.
What it reported doing in 2021
MAP's "D-League" is the organization's primary 'program service' and is a free, year-long professional development fellowship for sophomore college athletes looking to prepare for competitive internships in consulting, finance, law, operations, or tech.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- No current program activity. The filing reports no program spending for the current year.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
