Overview

Mission

The club was organized to assist in the conduct of the junior varsity and varsity baseball teams of riverview high school located in sarasota county, Florida. The school itself is operated by the sarasota county school board; it is a public high school. The teams are composed of students chosen from the student body by coaches.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 66% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
