What Chance Sports does
Mission
The mission of Chance Sports is to provide young athletes with the financial support to access competitive club sports, and to learn leadership and teambuilding skills that will benefit them on and off the athletic field.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Moved to address inequity, the cornerstone program of Chance Sports is the provision of financial support for youth to access competitive club sports, while simultaneously developing leadership and teambuilding skills that will benefit them on and off the athletic field. This financial support ensures athletes can cover club fees, travel expenses, tournament costs, and equipment costs. Scholarships range from 300 to 4,500 and are awarded on a sliding scale based on a family's household income as a percentage of the federal poverty line, seeking to cover up to 75% of the overall cost to participate annually in each athlete's primary sport.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2023 to 2024, from $380k to $591k (+56%).
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: 2023 17% · 2024 38% · 2025 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of CHANCE SPORTS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
4 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 CHANCE SPORTS’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
CHANCE SPORTS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 60% of grant income and the top three 83%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Where its funders are
80% of CHANCE SPORTS's grant income comes from Colorado funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $147k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
