What Sappy Moffit Field Foundation Inc does
Mission
SAPPY MOFFITT FIELD FOUNDATION INC exists to establish and maintain a baseball field -- "Foundry Field" -- at the publicly-owned Southeast Park in South Bend, Indiana. A portion of the park originally designated for a baseball facility was never completed and we are partnering with local government and community organizations to establish a field for public use. The specific purposes of the organization are to: build and maintain a high-quality baseball field in an under-utilized segment of Southeast Park for the use of the general public; work with community organizations to provide programming for local youth; make a unique cultural and artistic contribution through field design and culturally-rich public art; and preserve, promote, and engage baseball's cultural impact in the South Bend area through displays, design elements, and programming at the field.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The initial phase of building Foundry Field was completed, transforming an empty, unused green space at an urban public park in South Bend, Indiana, into a unique, high-quality community baseball field. Funding was allocated to landscape architecture, excavation and grading, field construction with high quality ground materials for infield and mound and warning track, purchase and installation of a pole and netting backstop system, installation of an irrigation system, renewal of outfield concrete wall surfacing, painting, and landscaping.
$0 spentIn partnership with Notre Dame's Center for Social Concerns, a groundbreaking and several mural unveiling ceremonies for Foundry Field have been held in the last two years, inviting neighbors, community partners, city leaders, donors, and special honored guests. The murals have honored and celebrated players from the field's namesake, the Foundry Giants, a black baseball team of Studebaker car factory workers from the early 20th century, as well as other historical teams from the area. The artists have spent time in workshops with youth from the adjacent Boys and Girls Club and nearby Riley High School, sharing about their work and mentoring young artists about navigating the art world and establishing sustainable art careers. Sappy Moffit Field Foundation representatives spend time with adults, teens, and youth in the community, sharing the sport of baseball and telling histories and stories about the Foundry Giants players and their impact on the community.

The 2 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ. Program spending in total: $0.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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 2023 to 2024, from $51k to $42k (−17%).
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.
100% of SAPPY MOFFIT FIELD FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (39% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 2 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $15k → $45k.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

SAPPY MOFFIT FIELD FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 37% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
56% 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 SAPPY MOFFIT FIELD FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 56% — 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.
Where its funders are
56% of SAPPY MOFFIT FIELD 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 $35k that is directly attributable, 72% of it comes from Indiana funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $45k 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.
