01What it does

What Sandy Spring Athletic Association Inc does

Mission

Sandy Spring Athletic Association ("SSAA") is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote, supervise, and voluntarily assist in providing a safe and secure recreational athletic environment for youth in the Greater Olney-Sandy Spring Maryland Region. Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, SSAA promotes youth programs that emphasize physical and emotional development, build self-esteem and cultivate a lifelong interest in sports, health, and teamwork by espousing the virtues and character, integrity, and sportsmanship. SSAA is dedicated to the development of youth and will encourage them to be exemplary people on and off the field.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

On its FY2025 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.

Sandy Spring Athletic Association ("SSAA") and Olney Boys and Girls Club, Inc. ("OBGC") executed a merger agreement on September 1, 2025 to unify their programs, providing families in the Olney-Sandy Spring region with expanded access to training, facilities, and player development, with full integration by December 31, 2025. SSAA ceased conducting day-to-day operations effective December 31, 2025.

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).

  1. Travel Baseball - SSAA offered a travel baseball program that serviced approximately 130 youth boys in Montgomery County, MD and surrounding areas. SSAA's travel baseball program had 10 teams and experienced consistency and stability in 2025, prior to the merger with OBGC. SSAA hosted two baseball tournaments in 2025 at various fields in Montgomery County, MD. The tournaments involved numerous travel baseball teams, which resulted in significant tournament revenues and expenses in 2025. In addition, SSAA subleased indoor training space in January 2025 for its travel baseball program, which was terminated upon the completion of the merger.

  2. Travel Softball - SSAA offered a travel softball program that serviced approximately 12 youth girls in Montgomery County, MD and surrounding areas. SSAA's travel softball program had 1 team during the Spring 2025 season and subsequently folded in the Summer of 2025. As such, SSAA did not have any softball teams as of the effective date of the merger with OBGC.

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.

Funder
'25*
total
funders
1

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 SANDY SPRING ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION INC’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.

Where its funders are

100% of SANDY SPRING 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. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $7k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
