Activities or mission (Part I)
Changing the lives of individuals with physical disabilities through adaptive sport and physical activity
-
In 2024, BlazeSports continues its mission to empower individuals with disabilities through a wide range of adaptive sports, recreation, and training programs. Building on our success in 2023, we proudly served 1,100 youth, veterans, adults, and toddlers with physical disabilities. Our adaptive sports offerings have expanded to encompass 14 sports, alongside camps, clinics, and events focused on ensuring quality accessible programs for our community. Newer programs and clinics, such as Pickle Ball, Wheelchair football, and golf, complement well-established programs like wheelchair basketball, archery, tennis, and summer camp. We've also enhanced our offerings with additions like corn hole, badminton, and expanded fitness programs, ensuring inclusive opportunities for all.BlazeSports hosted the National Parasport Conference, uniting industry leaders both virtually and in-person in Atlanta, GA. This event highlighted our commitment to advancing parasport, fostering collaboration, and driving positive change in the community.One of our most significant achievements has been the growth of BlazeTOTS, where we served over 400 toddlers aged 2-6 with disabilities. BlazeTOTS focuses on early childhood development through adaptive fitness and health activities, promoting physical, cognitive, and social skills in a supportive environment. The program includes structured play, skill-building exercises, and interactive sessions for parents and children, providing holistic support and educational resources. BlazeSports remains dedicated to expanding access and opportunity for all individuals with disabilities, enriching lives through sport, wellness, and community engagement. We remain steadfast in our dedication to ensuring the quality, diversity and availability of our programs are equal to sports programs open to those without disabilities.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
