01What it does

What The Thunderbird Community Sports Foundation does

Mission

The Thunderbird Community Sports Foundation promotes good health, physical education, and academic achievement by providing scholarships and grants for amateur athletes in the puget sound region, as well as providing grants to local youth and amateur sports associations.

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Program

  1. The foundation's only programs are operating a 50/50 raffle and a jersey raffle at the home games of the seattle thunderbirds hockey team. The money is collected from the sale of raffle tickets, with the winner of the 50/50 raffle taking 50% of the proceeds, and the winner of the jersey raffle winning a jersey. The foundation keeps the balance of the funds collected to defray the costs of operations and then distributes the remainder to the community in the form of grants.

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.
