What it reported doing in 2024

Youth sports encourages a philosophy of fair play and teamwork. The youth programs help give kids good role models and learn our core values of honesty, caring, respect, and responsibility. We believe every child should have an opportunity to participate. We offer financial assistance and scholarships to ensure children of low income families can participate. We also offer a jr.giants summer baseball program. This is a free program for kids ages 5-18 to learn baseball, reading, and character skills.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 72% 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.
