Overview

Mission

Financial support of band, athletics and other activities.

What it reported doing in 2023

Funds used by sports teams and extracurricular clubs to cover program expenses, such as uniforms, prom expenses, competition fees, band equipment and other program expenses.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
