To champion the growth and success of field hockey in the United States by investing in athletes, fostering community connections, and creating opportunities for every player to achieve their dreams.

What it reported doing in 2024

The foundation provides grants to the united states field hockey association, an exempt organization, and holds events to develop and promote the sport of amateur field hockey and to provide resources for the elite teams to qualify and compete in the olympic games.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
