To develop, promote and govern football (soccer) across North America, Central America and the Caribbean through competitions, development programs and governance.
A defining feature of Confederation of North Central American and Caribbean Association Football (concacaf) is how directly it funds the machinery of regional football competition and participation. In the recent grant list, the largest award was $447,000 to the Puerto Rican Footbal Federation for host country assistance, and the organization also backed travel and competition-related needs for federations and clubs across the region. That mix aligns with its broader role: developing, promoting, and governing football across North America, Central America, and the Caribbean through competitions, development programs, and governance. Recent awards show support for national federations, professional clubs, and organizing bodies tied to tournament operations. The Puerto Rican Football Federation appears multiple times in the grant data, including awards for travel, participation, and a program listed as One Concacaf Program. The US Soccer Federation Inc also appears repeatedly, alongside grants to the Usvi Soccer Federation, indicating that the funder works through member associations and event-linked programs rather than individual applicants. Its active development programme, Concacaf NextPlay, points to investments in youth development, infrastructure, and capacity building for member associations, clubs, and community football programmes.
Competition support is central to the funder’s recent activity. In 2025, it gave $320,000 to Usvi Soccer Federation for Win in Concacaf, and in 2023 it gave $300,000 to US Soccer Federation Inc for WCQ Grant, both tied to regional and international competition needs. Travel and participation assistance are also recurring themes. The federation provided $280,000 to Los Angeles Football Club for travel and $210,000 to Philadelphia Union for travel, showing that support extends to club participation in football events. Its development programming includes longer-horizon work as well. In 2023, it awarded $195,000 to US Soccer Federation Inc for One Concacaf Program and the same amount to Puerto Rican Footbal Federation for One Concacaf Program, while $35,000 went to Metropolitan Football Academy for travel. These grants fit a pattern of program-restricted funding tied to football delivery and member association activity.

Typical grants cluster around the middle of a fairly broad range: p25 is $70,000, median is $195,000, and p75 is $270,000. The recent list includes both smaller travel awards and larger program or host-country support awards. The grant record also shows repeat recipients across 2023 and 2025, especially member federations such as the Puerto Rican Football Federation, US Soccer Federation Inc, and Usvi Soccer Federation. The organization does not fund individuals and is not making program-related investments. The presence of the active Concacaf NextPlay programme also indicates structured, program-restricted giving rather than open application funding.
All recent grants in the data went to US-based recipients, with 31 grants and 100% in the US. The strongest concentration is in Virginia, where the top grant-count state is VI, driven by multiple awards to the Usvi Soccer Federation in St Croix and Kingshill. Other recipient cities that appear repeatedly include San Juan, Chicago, and St Croix. The HQ is in Miami, but only 4% of grants were made in Florida, so the main giving footprint differs from the headquarters location.
Its recent grants support host-country assistance, travel, participation, and program-restricted football delivery. The active Concacaf NextPlay programme focuses on competitions, youth development, infrastructure, capacity building for member associations and clubs, and technical development across the CONCACAF region.
Recent recipients include member national federations, clubs, and regional football bodies. The grant list includes the Puerto Rican Football Federation, US Soccer Federation Inc, Usvi Soccer Federation, Los Angeles Football Club, Philadelphia Union, and Metropolitan Football Academy.
Typical awards sit in the middle six figures for this funder: p25 is $70,000, median is $195,000, and p75 is $270,000. The recent grant list also includes larger awards such as $447,000 for host-country assistance and smaller $35,000 and $50,000 grants.
No. The active Concacaf NextPlay programme is listed as accepting unsolicited applications: false, so grants appear to be program-driven rather than open-call based.
Some recipients appear in multiple years, which shows recurring relationships. For example, US Soccer Federation Inc, Puerto Rican Football Federation, and Usvi Soccer Federation each received multiple grants across 2023 and 2025, often for travel, participation, or program-specific support.
