Overview

Mission

Swimming and tennis activities are available to members of all ages, including adults and children.

What it reported doing in 2025

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026, The Ranchos Colorados Club successfully provided swimming, tennis, and social activities to its members and maintained its existing infrastructure through ongoing maintenance programs. Nestled into the scenic, oak studded hills of Burton Valley, the Rancho Colorados Swim and Tennis Club is one of Lafayette's best kept secrets! Established in 1960, the club welcomes everyone from casual swimmers and tennis players to serious competitors. At the heart of the club is a sparkling pool surrounded by lush landscaping, spacious decks, a built-in BBQ area with gas grills, an indoor and outdoor kitchen, and refrigerator. Additional amenities include a large patio with tables, updated restrooms and changing areas, outdoor showers, ping-pong tables, a half court basketball hoop, and ample parking.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 98% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
