Ideal Applicant
A small-to-medium nonprofit or club running soccer programs or projects that clearly advance youth or community soccer participation, with a concise budget request in the mid-five-figure range and demonstrable local/regional impact.
Good Fit
- • Program explicitly focused on advancing the sport of soccer (youth development, access, leagues, coaching).
- • Located in or serving states that have previously received grants (e.g., MD, VA, CA) or demonstrating regional partnerships.
- • Asks for grants in the ~$10K–$30K range with clear, measurable outcomes.
- • Evidence of community-level impact or partnerships with local clubs or schools.
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year went to organizations in three different states, with the largest share going to one out-of-state jurisdiction but significant out-of-state giving overall.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the funder issued four separate grants to four independent recipients (all new that year), showing a modest but real spread of beneficiaries; however the sample is small and concentrated in a single giving year.
New Applicants
All four recipients in the latest year were new to the portfolio, which suggests willingness to fund unfamiliar groups, but there are no published application instructions and grant activity is only visible in one year, so direct openness cannot be fully confirmed.
