Overview

Mission

Myfa provides flag, modified tackle, and tackle football leagues in cedar rapids, Iowa

What it reported doing in 2025

The metro youth football association (myfa) has been in continuous operation since 1971. Myfa's goal is to teach life skills through instruction in the basics of football and yet let the kids have fun. Emphasis is placed on parental involvement with their children through their volunteer efforts in varied activities related to the overall football program. During the year metro youth football association served approximately 1,800 kids. More important than just annual growth, our success is perhaps best measured by the "good news about kids" stories we generate for the local press and by increasing numbers of former players returning to the metro youth football association program as parents, coaches, and sports officials.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 81% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - 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 a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
