Overview

Mission

Participatory recreation and fitness

What it reported doing in 2025

Participatory recreation and fitness - gymnasium, swimming pool, and fitness equipment all made available to the residents of the community. Organized events for both adults and youth of the towns of geddes, camillus and onondaga residents.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
