Overview

Mission

Sports leadership development builds relationships, listens and serves. Using the acts 1:8 model, we grow in missional relationships to witness and spread the gospel.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, sports leadership development has served athletes, coaches, alumni, and families.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

MIXED - 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 a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
