The U.S. Soccer Foundation is committed to helping young people in underserved communities embrace an active and healthy lifestyle while nurturing their personal growth through trained coach-mentors. To that end, it partners with local communities to create cost-effective, long-term initiatives that meet community’s youth-development needs and provide safe environments where kids can thrive.
The foundation is currently accepting applications for its Safe Places to Play grants program. Through the program, grants will be awarded to cover the cost of lighting, irrigation, construction, surfacing, and/or other enhancements that transform abandoned courts, empty schoolyards, vacant lots, and the like into state-of-the-art soccer fields for kids.
Grants of up to $15,000 will be awarded for irrigation projects; grants of up to $25,000 will be awarded for single-field projects; and grants of of up to $50,000 will be awarded for multi-field projects
Projects must be completed within one year of a potential grant award.
Eligible applicants must be a nonprofit entity, own or hold a ten-plus year lease on the field space, and, at the time of application, have 50 percent of the needed funding in hand.
