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.

Governance
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.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $8,640 spent. Over several months in the late summer fall cheerleaders practice twice per week to learn the routine bond with and develop a strong teamwork collaboration mindset in order to ensure that when they are ready to compete against the other organizations they are able to provide the best versions of themselves. The practice space we utilize provides us with a semi=private safe environment for the cheerleaders to learn and grow.
- $8,334 spent. As an organization we attend 7 -8 competitions where the girls are able to showcase all of their hardwork through out the season. They exemplify the dedication to the sport sportsmanship teamwork and passion while also cheering on and supporting the other organizations present at the event. The money spent is for the fees to attend and compete at these different competitions.
- $6,686 spent. Our home competition is our largest fundraiser of the year. It gives the cheerleaders the opportunity to support other organizations help in the day of operations and in the planning prior to the event to help support where they can. The goal of this event is to help mitigate costs for the cheerleaders outside of the registration but also teach them the importance of teamwork learning from others and how to support others who love and work hard in the sport when they themselves are not feeling the pressure to compete and win.
