Planning Grants Initiative

About

The U.S. Soccer Foundation, in partnership with Clough Harbour Sports, offers the opportunity to apply for a Grant to develop a concept plan for your soccer field construction project. The Planning Grants Initiative offers Grants of up to $10,000 in the form of credit with Clough Harbour Sports, the Foundation's Supplier for Soccer Facility Design and Planning Services. Clough Harbour Sports will produce a concept plan for your project, positioning your organization to solicit support from donors and decision-makers. Priority will be given to projects in urban, economically disadvantaged areas.
