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 (1)
- $27,396 spent. Our organization planned our first annual conference featuring 260+ students 80+ industry professionals and 29 speakers in Madison Wisconsin focused on supporting the learning and connection of students and professionals interested or working in the business of sports. Our organization also led a team of students to the NFL draft for an experiential learning experience where they had an opportunity to directly understand the process of leading planning for one of the highest-pressure sporting events in the entire world. All of our expenses were incurred in pursuit of these two core events which was our core program offering for this year. Together we made clear Madison was a destination for sports professionals worth investing in and we made certain the students who had the ambition to chase a career in this space had the opportunity to meet professionals who could help them do so and see the large-scale events that could one day be part of their own careers.
