Overview

Mission

To broaden the opportunities available to disadvantaged youth through baseball, affording players better exposure and scholarships for educational endeavors.

What it reported doing in 2024

The fun at bat program promotes physical activity, teamwork, and skill development among youth through structured baseball and softball activities. Serving children of all skill levels, the program emphasizes fun, inclusivity, and the development of fundamental skills, including throwing, catching, hitting, and base running. By providing a positive and supportive environment, fun at bat encourages participants to develop a lifelong interest in physical activity and adopt healthy lifestyle habits. During the school year and summer months, 100% of participants increased their physical activity, accumulating up to 16 hours during the school year and up to 32 hours during the summer, while also fostering social interaction and teamwork through organized lessons and games.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
