Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $14,383 spent. THE SWIM MELBOURNE FOUNDATION BROKE GROUND ON THE NEW PALM SHORES AQUATIC CENTER ON MARCH 23. THE AQUATIC CENTER IS SLATED TO OPEN SUMMER 2024, COINCIDING WITH THE SUMMER OLYMPICS IN PARIS. TO ATTAIN OUR GOAL WE NEED TO RAISE 4.5 MILLION DOLLARS FOR CONSTRUCTION, WITH ONGOING OPERATIONAL EXPENSES SUPPORTED BY ANNUAL MEMBERSHIPS. WE BELIEVE A STATE-OF-THE-ART AQUATIC CENTER IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY FOR BREVARD TO DEVELOP THE SWIMMING PROGRAMS THAT OUR COUNTY DESERVES.
