To promote health and wellness through athletics and advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2024

Region 9 Soo Bahk Do works to develop interest in the study of the martial art of Soo Bahk Do. Not only in the physical performance of the art but also teaching the history, traditions and the philosophy. We have classes for adults and youth. We endeavor to promote the health benefits of physical training as well as mental stimulation. We have promotional testing at a studio level and regional level. We work with students who have an interest in teaching and have a process to develop their skills with instructional material as well as hands-on teaching experience.

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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
