Overview
Mission
Provide scholarships to qualified college applicants
What it reported doing in 2024
The matthew lachappa athletic scholarship foundation has been inactive since the covid-19 pandemic hit in 2020. We haven't been able to secure a golf tournatment during this time. Since these activites run through the barona resort and casino, we rely heavily on their donations of facility and staff, neither of which have been available to us. During 2022 we granted two scholarships to college students.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
