Overview

Mission

To support u.s. Olympic and paralympic athletes in achieving sustained competitive excellence while demonstrating the values of the olympic movement, thereby inspiring all americans.

What it reported doing in 2024

Competition program expenses include costs incurred to train athletes, conduct domestic competitions and send teams to international competitions. Expenses include travel, contract labor, lodging and meals, and athlete training costs such as sports science.

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 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
