Overview
Mission
At Unity Ice Academy, our mission is to open the door to figure skating while empowering children with the confidence, determination, and drive to succeed on and off the ice.
What it reported doing in 2025
Unity Ice Academys mission is to provide free access to and free coaching in ice skating for children in the inner-city of Los Angeles that can not afford it. Unity Ice Academy hosts a free month-long summer camp each year that gives inner-city children an introduction to ice skating and then provides opportunities for them to continue ice skating throughout the year.
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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
