    About Rave Foundation

    Rave Foundation’s grantmaking is built around soccer fields and soccer-based programming, with a stated goal of building free-play spaces and using the sport to inspire youth, build connections, and strengthen communities. In the latest grants listed, the largest award was $30,000 to WA Youth Soccer Assoc in Tukwila for program support, followed by $16,145 to Dragons Fc in Seattle and $10,000 to Seattle Parks Fdn in Seattle. The portfolio also includes support for Chief Leschi Schools in Puyallup, City of Tukwila, and several other Washington organizations, showing a mix of community groups, schools, city agencies, and soccer programs. The foundation’s program menu centers on youth development, community strengthening, health and wellness through sport, arts-based engagement, and equipment distribution. It also operates field-building and field-activation work through initiatives that pair physical spaces with programming. That combination makes the foundation more than a general sports donor: its giving repeatedly connects play, learning, and community use. Rave Foundation is a public charity with annual grants of $160,068 and total assets of $1,059,889.

    What Rave Foundation Funds

    A central theme is youth learning through sport. Rave Foundation gave $10,000 to Chief Leschi Schools in Puyallup for program support, and its active programs include First Kicks, a Washington State Learning Standards–aligned physical literacy curriculum for ages 3–5, plus Science of Soccer, which connects soccer with STEM learning through classroom and hands-on activities. The foundation also supports local soccer infrastructure and community use. It awarded $10,000 to Seattle Parks Fdn in Seattle for program support, alongside its 26 MORE by 2026 initiative to build 26 additional free-play soccer fields across Washington. Arts and belonging are another thread. Goals for Art uses youth-made artwork in community RAVE fields, and the foundation gave $7,500 to Cocreative Culture in Tukwila for program support. Career exploration appears as well through the Sports Media Institute and a $10,000 grant to Chief Leschi Schools tied to a job-shadow pathway.

    How Rave Foundation Gives

    Rave Foundation’s recent grants cluster in small and mid-sized program awards. The largest listed grant is $30,000, while several awards sit at $7,500; the median among the listed grants is $7,500, with the 25th percentile at $7,500 and the 75th percentile at $10,000. The pattern points to project-restricted, time-limited support rather than large endowment-style grants. The foundation’s active programs show some openness to unsolicited interest: Goals for Art, PE Curriculum (elementary), and Science of Soccer accept unsolicited proposals, while others do not. The 2025 grant list itself shows a broad network of local recipients rather than repeated awards to a single grantee, at least within the records provided.

    Where Rave Foundation Makes Grants

    All listed recent grants went to recipients in the United States, and the recipient-country distribution is entirely U.S.-based. Within Washington, the grants reach Tukwila, Seattle, Puyallup, Pasco, Bellevue, Burien, Federal Way, Seatac, Tacoma, and Spokane. Seattle appears multiple times, including grants to Seattle Parks Fdn, YMCA of Greater Seattle, America Scores, and Washington State Legends of Soccer. The portfolio is therefore statewide in practice, with activity concentrated in Washington cities rather than outside the state.
