Mission Statement

The mission of the U.S. Soccer Foundation is to enhance, assist and grow the sport of soccer in the United States with a special emphasis on underserved communities.

We view soccer as a powerful vehicle for social change.  By supporting the development of places to play, places to grow and places to learn, our goal is to ensure that children in underserved communities have easy and affordable access to quality soccer programs that support their physical and personal development.

Areas of interest include:

  • Places to Play: Engaging community-based organization, government agencies and local non-profits, the Foundation works to develop quality soccer fields that provide children with safe places to play and develop skills.
  • Places to Grow/Places to Learn: The Foundation supports the development and expansion of soccer programs with strong youth development components. Areas of emphasis include programs that:
    • Provide children with guidance on nutrition and ways to stay active and healthy to help combat rising childhood obesity rates;
    • Engage children in academic activities with the goal of increasing educational attainment;
    • Work to guide children away from negative influences such as gangs and violence.
