About Yours in Soccer Foundation
Yours in Soccer Foundation focuses on funding community-based soccer programs that serve youth in urban and underserved neighborhoods, with additional support for related educational partners.

About Yours in Soccer Foundation
Yours in Soccer Foundation’s grantmaking is anchored by repeated support for Oakland Genesis Soccer Club, including a $125,000 grant in 2025 and prior grants of $75,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2024. That pattern points to a funder that backs the same soccer organizations over multiple years rather than making isolated awards. The foundation’s recent grants concentrate on community-based youth soccer in urban neighborhoods, especially clubs and academies serving young people in Oakland, the Bronx, and Manhattan. It also extends that support to organizations that connect sport with academic opportunity, including college-preparatory and student-athlete support groups. The portfolio shows a mix of club-level funding and education-linked grants, with mid-sized awards used for program support, coaching, and organizational capacity. Recent recipients include South Bronx United Inc, Manhattan Soccer Club, Two Bridges Football Club Inc, and Ubuntu Sports Outreach Inc, alongside education partners such as Pitzer College and Barrio Logan College Institute. Across the list, the foundation appears to favor organizations that combine soccer participation with mentoring, development, and pathways beyond the field.
What Yours in Soccer Foundation Funds
A clear theme in the portfolio is support for urban youth soccer clubs. In 2025, Yours in Soccer Foundation gave $71,400 to South Bronx United Inc and $50,000 to Manhattan Soccer Club, continuing a multi-year pattern with both organizations. It also funded club infrastructure and program support through awards such as $50,000 to CA Fc Barcelona Soccer Foundation and $4,500 to San Dieguito Surf Soccer Club. The foundation also backs youth development through sport. Ubuntu Sports Outreach Inc received $25,000 in 2025, after grants of $15,000 in both 2024 and 2023, showing sustained support for a program model tied to mentoring and opportunity. Education-linked grants appear as well: $35,871 went to Barrio Logan College Institute in 2025, and $50,000 went to Pitzer College in 2023.
How Yours in Soccer Foundation Gives
Typical grant size sits at $5,500 at the 25th percentile, $15,000 at the median, and $34,869 at the 75th percentile, which places most awards in the middle range with some larger anchor grants. The pattern is repeat and portfolio-based: several recipients appear in multiple years, including Oakland Genesis Soccer Club, Manhattan Soccer Club, South Bronx United Inc, Ubuntu Sports Outreach Inc, and Girls Unite. The foundation is not structured as an individual-giving funder and does not make program-related investments. One active program, Middle School Initiative, accepts unsolicited applications; the other listed programs do not.
