Overview

Mission

The north end athletic association promotes athletic, social, educational, civic events and tournaments for young boys and girls, free of charge, in the boston area.

What it reported doing in 2025

Banquets and awards for about 150 boston area youths, and contributions to assist various boston area non-profit civic organizations

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% 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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
