Overview

Mission

To promote the development and growth of pickleball in the southwest region.

What it reported doing in 2023

The USA pickleball southwest region put on a regional pickleball tournament in mesa, az in march of 2022. We had 1047 amateur players compete from 38 states and 6 canadian provences at legacy sports USA. Comments from our survey - many of the players felt that the tournament was run very well and also complemented the referees, tournament software personnel, volunteers and staff for keeping the tournament moving throughout the 6 days of events. A number of our ambassadors were instrumental in helping schools (elementary, middle and high schools) to obtain 26 youth grants (for pickleball equipment that we supplied) in Arizona and New Mexico. We also started a first responder grant program and have provided 4 fire stations in az and 4 fire stations in nm with equipment for their fire stations. Our ambassadors participated in a couple of teaching conferences in Arizona - adaptability sports conference and the society of health and physical educators (shape) convention in phoenix, az. We donated paddles and balls for a special olympics conference in nm.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
