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.

- 505 LEGENDS IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT TEACHES YOUTH PLAYERS TEAMWORK, DISCIPLINE, COMMUNICATION, LEADERSHIP, AND BASEBALL SKILLS. WE DECIDED TO SET UP A TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATION TO HELP WITH THE COSTS OF TRAVELING, TOURNAMENTS, THE FIELD, PRACTICES, UNIFORMS, AND EQUIPMENT. WE START PRACTICES IN JANUARY 2 TO 3 TIMES A WEEK, 1 TO 2 HOURS PER SESSION. DURING PRACTICE WE CONCENTRATE ON A VARIETY OF DRILLS AND BASEBALL SITUATIONS. WE PRACTICE WHERE WE CAN FIND SPACE; BATTING CAGES THAT ARE AVAILABLE AROUND TOWN, AND IF THE WEATHER IS GOOD, OUR FIELD THAT WE NAMED THE SAND LOT. A LOCAL CHURCH HAS LET US USE THEIR FIELD FOR PRACTICES AND HAS LET US MAKE IMPROVEMENTS AS NEEDED. THE PARENTS HAVE DONATED ABOUT 3500.00, AND BOTH KIDS AND PARENTS HAVE DONATED THEIR TIME TO CLEAN THE FIELD, LEVEL IT, PUT UP A FENCE, AND LAY DOWN SOME TURF. THE FIELD IS THERE FOR THE NEIGHBORHOOD KIDS, THE PATRONS OF THE CHURCH, AND ANYONE WHO PASSES BY TO USE DURING THE TIME THE TEAM DOES NOT HAVE PRACTICE.
