Overview

Mission

Little League believes in the power of youth baseball to teach life lessons that build stronger individuals and communities. University City is a 100% volunteer organization that provides an opportunity for children age 4 through 15 to learn the fundamentals of baseball and to build pride, sportsmanship, and a healthy self-esteem. We promote teamwork, communication and community involvement.

What it reported doing in 2024

Baseball Operations -- provided a community-oriented and youth-empowering baseball experience for over 350 boys and girls ages 4-14

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 61% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
