Overview

Mission

The goal of orange arrow is not to discourage young athletes from pursuing a dream of professional sports, but to broaden the reality of those with athletic aspirations. To coach young student athletes to aim for success off the field. We offer engaging, sports-themed programming designed to develop winners outside of the sports realm. We aim to provide a practical vision of success in life, no matter which path they choose.

What it reported doing in 2024

We hosted our second orange arrow symposium in sports, bringing together professionals from education and athletics across the tri-state area to explore how to create winning cultures, promote mental wellness, and better support student-athlete development

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 71% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
