What Greater Cleveland Athletic Association Inc does
Mission
To operate an athletic association that will provide, without any discrimination, opportunities for area youth to participate in team sports
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
This organization is managed by an all volunteer board/members. The creation and ongoing operation of the greater cleveland athletic association (gcaa) is for the purpose of offering area youth the opportunity, on a nondiscriminatory basis, to participate in various team sports throughout the year. With the existence of the gcaa, area businesses have a forum in which to contribute that in turn benefits hundreds of children. Contributions to the gcaa offset part of the costs to operate thus allowing the gcaa to reduce the fees it must charge participants. The organization has long term goals of improving the park facilities. Approximately 4,500 children participated in the various sports in 2022. Children gain in self-esteem, learn from being part of a team, have a constructive outlet in which to focus their energy, and get regular exercise during a particular ball season which is extremely important in today's society where statistics show marked increases in childhood obesity.

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 2019 to 2020, from $396k to $334k (−16%).
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: 2019 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
7% of GREATER CLEVELAND ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (18% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
93% 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 GREATER CLEVELAND ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 68% · 2022 52% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.

Where its funders are
93% of GREATER CLEVELAND ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $1k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $14k 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. 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.
