What Manchester Police Athletic League does
Mission
To instill values, respect, responsibility and community in youth ages 5-18 and foster positive relationships with police officers to help kids make healthy choices and become productive citizens.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Juvenile court diversion - accredited program holds juvenile offenders referred by police accountable while helping them gain skills and support needed to stay on track. Participants avoid court and a criminal record, preserving opportunity for success. In fy 2025, twelve monthly panels convened to hear cases from juvenile offenders and develop individualized contracts mapping out goals for making amends and building skills needed to make better choices in the future. This approach to juvenile justice has proven effective: of the 112 youth who completed mpal's diversion program in 2023, 97% avoided subsequent arrests in the first year following program completion, compared to only 59% of youth going through the traditional court-based justice system. 137 youth participated in the program in fy25.

Involving youth in athletics builds self- confidence and encourages healthy-living habits while instilling the values of respect, responsibility, and community. 504 youth ages 5-18 participated in mpal athletic programs in fy25. With the exception of wrestling which has an academic year season, all athletic programs ran weekly all twelve months of the fiscal year.

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 $987k to $1.1M (+11%).
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 33% · 2021 18% · 2022 11% · 2023 13% · 2024 25% · 2025 26%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $10k → $34k.
4 of 29 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 MANCHESTER POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE’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
MANCHESTER POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 27% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
65% 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 MANCHESTER POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 73% · 2018 44% · 2019 66% · 2020 49% · 2021 60% · 2022 30% · 2023 46% — diversifying over time.
“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
21% of MANCHESTER POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 34% 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
87% of MANCHESTER POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE's grant income comes from New Hampshire funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $32k 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.
