Overview
Mission
To promote and further an appreciation of sports and cultural activities for youth 18 years old and younger; many of whom attend Title 1 schools.
What it reported doing in 2024
Provided sporting and cultural event tickets, hygiene items, books and food to youth from under-resourced neighborhoods. 24,217 tickets, quarts of soup, and books were donated, which allowed youth to attend events and have necessities at home.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 95% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
