Overview
Mission
The Wichita Defenders exist to provide homeschool athletes with a competitive sports program that uses athletics as a tool to disciple young men and women to pursue godliness and excellence in every aspect of their lives.
What it reported doing in 2025
During 2025, our middle school and high school homeschool sports organization continues to see a lot of growth over the last year. We had over 290 different student athletes as well as 50 different volunteer coaches. We added MS and HS football this last year. Our 16U girls' basketball team was runner-up at the National Homeschool Track Meet.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 87% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
