What it says it does

Colorado Warriors Pop Warner is a youth tackle football program that is registered as a non-profit both with the IRS and with the state of Colorado. It does not typically reserve excess money from year to year and typically operates at a loss; however there is an excess for 2024 and that money will go towards website and hudl fees in preparation for 2025. All money goes towards fees, insurance, uniforms, helmet painting, stickers, field rental, officials, with any remaining money used for travel out of state and possible end of year parties, which results in a balanced or negative spreadsheet. All revenue goes back to the members/players. In 2024, 6 teams of 24 players each, 144 youth benefited from playing tackle football that allowed for travel around Colorado, to New Mexico and Texas and to Florida.

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
