Revenue model

1. Donations and Fundraising: The organization relies on charitable donations from individuals and businesses to fund its programs. Donations cover coaching, equipment, and meet-day support costs. Additional fundraising comes from an annual Fall Fundraiser featuring live auctions and paddle raises.
2. Community Race Proceeds: Local community races throughout the year share a portion of their proceeds with Active4Youth. While the organization does not organize these events itself, participating races including the PTA Kids Triathlon and Run the Night Glow Run contribute funding.
