Overview

Mission

A qualified amateur sports organization operating exclusively for the purpose of fostering local, state, national and international competition in the sport of women's roller derby. Part of the organization's mission is also to give back to the community, primarily by supporting causes that serve underprivileged children and women. Rubber city rollergirls accomplishes this through fundraisers and donations for/to organizations that serve children and women, and via its "skate for kids" program.

What it reported doing in 2011

The rubber city rollergirls accomplished its secondary mission of supporting causes that affect underprivileged children and women, through its skate for kids program. This program provides free skating events to homeless and other underprivileged children in the akron community. During the fiscal year ended 9/30/12, the rubber city rollergirls served over 100 children through this program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
