Overview

Mission

For more than 50 years, MYSA has been helping member clubs provide a safe and meaningful soccer experience for Minnesota youth.

What it reported doing in 2021

Member services: league operations and registration declined slightly from fy21 to fy22. Work with the collective global continued, but was mostly focused on a partnership with Minnesota united which has not come to fruition. Our agm remained virtual and we did not have a symposium as in previous years.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 84% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
