What Keeper of the Game Foundation Inc does
Mission
Keeper of The Game Foundation serves those with special needs and disabilities. We provide many opportunities involving baseball and softball activities, such as putting baseball/softball clinics for those with cognitive and physical disabilities, and taking special needs school classes and special needs families to baseball games. We provide annual scholarship money to St Timothy's Christian Academy, a private special needs school. We also create service opportunities for baseball and softball players and teams. We have student athletes and professional athletes volunteer during our clinics. We also put on the largest food drive in Frisco, Texas having Frisco high school teams compete to see who can collect the most donations for Frisco Family Services Food Market.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

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 2022 to 2023, from $55k to $30k (−45%).

From the IRS filings of KEEPER OF THE GAME FOUNDATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 4 of 5 funders by total. 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
KEEPER OF THE GAME FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 KEEPER OF THE GAME FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 93% · 2023 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
56% of KEEPER OF THE GAME FOUNDATION 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 $10k that is directly attributable, 84% of it comes from funders outside Texas, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $12k 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.
