Soccer United Recovery Fund

About the Soccer United Recovery Fund

The Soccer United Recovery Fund (Recovery Fund) is an organized effort by the American soccer community to assist with the recovery of soccer along the Gulf Coast. In partnership with Eurosport and managed by the Foundation, the Recovery Fund Grant Program has been established as a streamlined grant-making process specifically for the areas impacted by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma.

Dedicated fundraising for the Recovery Fund, including the sale of Recovery Fund T-Shirts and other products, is the source for the Grant Program. The goal is to raise a minimum of $250,000 in cash, and an equal amount in donated equipment for the program continuing throughout 2006. We are pleased that 100% of all proceeds generated through this fundraising effort - including every dollar from individual donations - goes directly towards the Recovery Fund grant program.

Recovery Fund Application

The Recovery Fund Grant is designed to address the needs of the Gulf Coast soccer community. To assist us in processing requests for support, a Working Group has been organized composed of soccer leaders in the states affected by last fall's hurricanes. The Group continues to help the Foundation review incoming requests. At this point in the recovery process, the Foundation is suggesting that organizations still in need of help contact the appropriate Working Group member.
