The Soccer Fund's mission is to use soccer to make a positive impact on people’s lives. We believe that the game is a unique and powerful vehicle for good. Our goal is to increase opportunities for youth in underserved communities to participate in soccer, and to sustain these efforts, as well as to further elevate these communities by promoting social enterprise, addressing health concerns, targeting social issues, supporting education and providing equal opportunities for girls and boys. By providing better access to a sport that can inspire, empower and educate, we aim to enable people and communities and help ignite social change.
