What Carmel Dads Club Inc does
Mission
The mission of the carmel dads club is to foster the development of youth in sports-related programs, and to build self-esteem, physical fitness, respect, and achievement through a diverse level of sports. The club provides inclusive involvement of members by being a caring organization, one that is modeled around sportsmanship, fair play, and participant safety. The organization works to build effective citizenship in members through trust, active communication, and enthusiasm.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
The carmel dads club serves more than 5,500 families in the carmel/clay area. The club gives more than 11,000 children ranging in age from pre-kindergarten to high school an opportunity to participate in various sports annually. Three sport tracks are offered via a recreation league, a travel league and a special sports program. The recreation league allows youth athletes to have fun and simultaneously learn teamwork, sportsmanship and leadership skills. The travel league allows more competitive youngsters to hone their skills by competing against teams from other geographic areas. The special sports program provides tailored programs for children with emotional and physical impairments. The sports offered by the Carmel Dads Club Include soccer, baseball, softball, football, basketball, rugby, lacrosse, cheerleading, golf, and volleyball. As a not-for-profit organization, funding comes from membership dues, sports registration fees, team sponsorships, concession sales, and donations.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $4.9M to $5.9M (+19%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 1% · 2018 1% · 2019 1% · 2020 1% · 2021 8% · 2023 1% · 2024 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
17% of CARMEL DADS CLUB INC’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $1k → $76k.
3 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of CARMEL DADS CLUB INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
CARMEL DADS CLUB INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 91%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
66% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund CARMEL DADS CLUB INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 46% · 2018 100% · 2019 96% · 2020 88% · 2021 66% · 2022 96% · 2023 56% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
14% of CARMEL DADS CLUB INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 40% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
98% of CARMEL DADS CLUB INC's grant income comes from Indiana funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $103k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
