Overview

Mission

We provide fundraising opportunities to support youth in the San Francisco Bay Area in pursuit of athletic, academic, and artistic activities.

Our members provide volunteer services for which the organization donates fund to our non-profit organization. Our members then request that donations be made to organizations that meet our stated goals to support youth engaged in artistic, academic, or athletic activities.

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
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.

  • High — Sustainability: Total-asset coverage ratio scored 27/100.
  • High — Grant Readiness: California registration: this organization is recorded as not currently operating in California.
