Overview

Mission

The Verrado Booster Club is a non profit organization dedicated to assisting student athletes and staff with needed resources for success on the field and in the classroom. We promote good sportsmanship, leadership, academics, school spirit and a positive high school experience.

What it reported doing in 2016

Operating expenses relating to Cheer and Pom squads. Examples include, but are not limited to uniforms, competition travel, music, choreography, etc.

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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
