Overview

Mission

To provide a volleyball program for youth in the west fargo, nd area, including providing instruction and competition against other programs in the area.

What it reported doing in 2024

To provide a volleyball program for youth in west fargo, nd and all surrounding areas that is open to all high school, middle school, and elementary students that include instruction and competition against local, regional, and national teams. Each year we continue to grow in the number of teams we put together. We have three different levels of teams. We have an open team level that gives athletes the opportunity to participate in tournaments outside the local area with increased competition as well as national competition. We have regional teams that give athletes the opportunity to participate in some local and some tournaments outside the local area. And we have local teams that strictly play in local tournaments. We offer two main volleyball seasons which are winter season (november - february) and spring season (february - may) for our athletes. We also offer academy (younger elementary) skills & league camps in the fall, winter, spring and summer. The academy and skills groups have grown tremendously over the last year. The mission of volt volleyball, inc. Is to strive to develop the athletic abilities of the players, promote teamwork, and provide a positive volleyball experience.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 86% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
