Annual revenue has nearly doubled in six years. Charitable donations are a key engine for revenue growth. Since 2006, contributions have risen almost sevenfold. The number of contributors to the annual fund has also risen from less than 100 in 2006 to nearly 2000 in 2010. We achieved a modest operational surplus. Membership also rose 26% during the five year USA Water Polo Annual Revenue period, from less than 27,000 members in 2006, to nearly 34,000 at year’s end. Guided by a $8,000,000 collaborative growth plan prepared with McKin- $6,000,000 sey & Company on a pro bono basis and valued at more than $1 million, we plan to expand our $4,000,000 investment in membership programs and sport development in 2011. $2,000,000 $0 Along with membership and revenue, our Men’s 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 and Women’s Senior and Junior National Teams have collectively captured more FINA and Olym- pic medals since 2006 than any other nation. In 2010, our women won a gold medal in the FINA World League followed by our first gold medal at the FINA Cup in 36 years. Finance and administrative costs remain at or below other comparable youth sport organizations. In 2010, USAWP spent roughly 12.6 cents on the dollar toward finance and administration. This “over- head,” as some might call it, compares favorably with the US Olympic Committee (15 cents), USA Swimming (12.5 cents), USA Volleyball (16.5 cents) and AYSO (20 cents). 6 www.usawaterpolo.org AnUSAnu Water PoloalReport2 010 The Year in Review: 2010 We strive for transparency. USA Water Polo posts its audited financial results and IRS 990 forms on our website within the public documents section of “Inside USA Water Polo,” so that you can review them at any time.
