Overview

Mission

The mission of the wrestling collective is to provide young athletes opportunities through the development of programs that will provide growth in athletics and in life, through the sport of wrestling

What it reported doing in 2023

125 current athletes, of which about 25% have received scholarships

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 97% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and a relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work.
