Erie Steelheads Baseball Inc finances

From the annual returns the group files with the IRS (Form 990, or the shorter Form 990-EZ for smaller groups), 2 filed years. Net assets are what it owns minus what it owes; management and general is office, admin and insurance cost. A dash means not reported (the short form does not ask for employees or volunteers). Each figure links to that year's return. A year is left out when no return is in the IRS e-file data; that does not mean the group was inactive.

Where the money goes, year ending Sep 2023

Small groups file the shorter Form 990-EZ, which reports program spending but not the management and fundraising split.

Revenue trend: Shrinking. Revenue went from $162,632 (year ending Sep 2021) to $117,768 (Sep 2023), about -15% a year.

Growth label: we compare total revenue on the oldest and the newest return shown above. Growing means revenue rose by more than 10% a year on average, Shrinking means it fell by more than 10% a year, and Steady means a change between -10% and +10% a year. The rate is the compounded yearly average between the two returns, so it hides ups and downs in between (see the table). We only label groups with returns at least a year apart and at least $5,000 of revenue on the oldest one. This is our own calculation, not an IRS rating or a judgment of quality.

Around Erie and its county

Erie County, Pennsylvania: the Census Bureau estimates about 54,328 children under 18 (July 1, 2024). This directory lists 129 youth and community nonprofits with a mailing ZIP code in the county, about 2.4 per 1,000 children. The count includes PTAs, arts and day care groups, so it is not a measure of places for kids.

This group's ZIP code is matched to the county that holds most of its area, so counts are approximate. County figures come from the Census Bureau's Vintage 2024 population estimates.
