Overview

Mission

To promote amateur baseball in the matanuska & susitna valleys.

What it reported doing in 2024

Amateur (summer collegiate) baseball operations: the mat-su miners participate in the Alaska baseball league and played 42 games in 2024 against other abl teams. We also provide clinics to mat-su valley youth at our home field; host american legion baseball games at our home field; and actively participate in other community events.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
