About United States Soccer Federation
The United States Soccer Federation’s grantmaking centers on soccer infrastructure and access, with youth state associations receiving some of the largest awards in the recent grants list. Utah Youth Soccer Assn received $414,582 in 2025, and New Jersey Youth Soccer Association received $323,416 the same year, pointing to a funding pattern built around state-level delivery of the game. The foundation also backs disability soccer organizations, including United States Association of Blind Athletes and USA Deaf Soccer Association, alongside adult and youth soccer bodies. That mix of grantees shows a funder supporting both the competitive pathway and broader participation in the sport. Grants go to organizations across the youth, adult, and adaptive soccer ecosystem, including state associations, national affiliates, and sport-specific disability programs. The presence of groups such as Cerebral Palsy Soccer Inc and Down Syndrome Sports of America indicates that access for players with disabilities is part of the same grant portfolio as mainstream soccer development. Recent awards also extend to coaching and development organizations such as United Soccer Coaches, suggesting support for the personnel and training side of the sport as well as direct program delivery.
What United States Soccer Federation Funds
Youth development is a clear priority. The United States Soccer Federation gave $274,783 to US Youth Soccer Association Inc for ITG, and $202,034 to Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association for ITG, both pointing to support for state and national youth soccer systems. Disability soccer is another distinct area. Grants include $194,491 to United States Association of Blind Athletes for ITG, $175,000 to USA Deaf Soccer Association for ITG, and $100,538 to Down Syndrome Sports of America for ITG. The federation also funds state soccer associations that serve local and regional programming. Georgia State Soccer Association received $271,882 for ITG, while Washington Youth Soccer received $144,413 for ITG. In addition, United Soccer Coaches was awarded $175,000 for ITG, tying grant support to coach development and training within the sport.
