Overview

Mission

Newton Girls Basketball Association (NGBA) was started in 1988 by a group of dedicated parents interested in introducing the world's most exciting game to girls in the City of Newton. Since then, our program has continued to grow in terms of both quality and participants. Today, we have hundreds of girls and dozens of volunteers involved in the league. NGBA has a well-defined mission that varies from other sports programs with which you might be familiar. We are a recreational basketball league. Our primary emphasis is on having fun and teaching the girls basketball skills. We emphasize good sportsmanship, and have a strict rule that requires each girl to play approximately one-half of each game. Teams are formed to allow girls, when possible, to play with their friends and schoolmates. NGBA also enables players to meet other girls from around the city of Newton.

What it reported doing in 2024

NGBA is a recreational league for Newton girls with fun for beginners and experienced players alike!

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
