Overview

Mission

Poway Girls Softball League was founded in 1967 to provide an opportunity for girls ages 5-18 to play fast pitch softball in Poway, California.

What it reported doing in 2024

Teaching and coaching softball skills to 350 children ages 5-14. Provided training, maintained facilities, equipment and tournament admission.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
