What Elkhorn Athletic Association Inc does
Mission
We are an elkhorn-based non-profit youth sports organization dedicated to providing a safe, enjoyable, positive learning environment. We serve families with children of all ages and all skill levels from the community and across the region. We encourage and support the holistic development of every child, teach leadership and other essential skills, and inspire our athletes to seek excellence in all aspects of their lives. We will accomplish this by encouraging parental involvement and by providing professional staff, state-of-the-art facilities, and programs commensurate with ability, potential, and interest at the developmental, recreational, and competitive levels.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs

Wrestling was discontinued in 2024.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
Elkhorn athletic association (eaa) has strong roots in the community dating back five decades. Eaa remains aligned in mission, vision and values to serve youth sports and our surrounding community. Today we provide athletic opportunities for over 8,000 registered athletes (boys and girls) participating in ten sports. A vast majority of the youth served are elkhorn public school (eps) students or from the surrounding communities, representing more than 3,000 elkhorn-area families.

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 2021 to 2022, from $3.5M to $8.7M (+153%).
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: 2021 2% · 2022 29% · 2023 15% · 2024 23%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
38% of ELKHORN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (13% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income fell $80k → $17k.
4 of 10 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 15% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $27k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
