The U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> is reaching more players than<br />
ever before, thanks to the assistance of our partners who are<br />
supporting soccer’s growth in the United States.<br />
We are pleased to be part of this “team” and our 2007 <strong>Annual</strong><br />
Report is designed to showcase the integrated effort that enhances<br />
our activities across the fi eld. We hope that the story of our team<br />
and its players will inspire you to continue supporting the game<br />
through the <strong>Foundation</strong>, the Major Charitable Arm of <strong>Soccer</strong> in<br />
the U.S.<br />
A successful team needs strong players at every position. Like<br />
many teams, we build from the back, with our Board of Directors<br />
in goal, providing leadership and protecting us from problems<br />
that develop in the run of play. Our defenders, the cornerstone<br />
of everything we do, include the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> Federation and its<br />
affi liates, the companies in our Partners Resource Center, our<br />
champions in the media and our Government Relations activities.<br />
Just as on the fi eld, our midfi elders generate support for our<br />
activities and help us push forward. Major League <strong>Soccer</strong> (MLS)<br />
and its teams are critical members of our Passback network, the<br />
new Urban <strong>Soccer</strong> Collaborative is helping us and its members<br />
share experiences and information about how best to expand the<br />
game in economically disadvantaged urban areas and our <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
Funders Network promises to provide similar rewards to<br />
its members.<br />
The whole purpose of the game is to score goals and show<br />
results on the fi eld. That’s where our strikers come in. Our program<br />
grants, fi eld building activities and Passback have increased the<br />
opportunities for young people to play soccer across the country.<br />
As on any team, strikers depend not only on the players on the<br />

you, our donors and supporters. The resources you provide<br />
go directly — and entirely — into our goal scoring activities,<br />
since all overhead costs are covered by our endowment.<br />
We appreciate your generosity this year, as it will help us<br />
continue to grow our fan support.<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Grants</strong> <strong>Program</strong> /<strong>Striker</strong><br />
<strong>Soccer</strong> is known worldwide as The Beautiful Game,<br />
thanks to its fluid movement and constant action.<br />
As the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s activities demonstrate, the game’s<br />
beauty extends beyond the field. <strong>Program</strong>s, supported<br />
by the <strong>Foundation</strong>, teach children life lessons about the<br />
value of exercise, teamwork, community and leadership<br />
along with the joys of the game.<br />
<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Grants</strong> <strong>Program</strong><br />
Developing Players, Coaches and Referees<br />
The <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Grants</strong> <strong>Program</strong> has provided support to 439<br />
groups in every state of the country, as part of the $45 million the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> has invested in the growth of soccer.<br />
Last year, the <strong>Foundation</strong> focused on providing grants to<br />
programs that develop players, coaches and referees in economically<br />
disadvantaged urban areas with populations of 100,000 or<br />
more. The 30 program grants awarded in 2007 impacted 25 urban<br />
communities in 17 states and the District of Columbia.<br />
These grants address a broad spectrum of needs as illustrated<br />
by the following three grants.<br />
The Ebony City <strong>Soccer</strong> Club (ECSC), located in Charleston,<br />
South Carolina, is using the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s grant to launch an<br />
“in-house” youth development league in four sites throughout the<br />
city. ECSC is the only organization offering youth soccer to these<br />
inner-city children and hopes that this organized sports program,<br />
I was told we’d<br />
never be able<br />
to get kids in<br />
the city to play<br />
soccer. That’s<br />
just incorrect.<br />
If you provide<br />
the opportunity<br />
for kids to play,<br />
they’re going<br />
to play.<br />
— Tim Richey, <strong>Program</strong><br />
Director, Think Detroit<br />
PAL inner-city sports<br />
leagues. Think Detroit PAL<br />
will use a 2007 Mooch<br />
Myernick Memorial<br />
Fund grant to run a<br />
youth soccer clinic in<br />
Brightmoor’s Optimist<br />
Stout Park.<br />
coupled with academic support, will prevent school dropouts and<br />
delinquency.<br />
The Southern California Youth <strong>Soccer</strong> Organization’s Interliga<br />
Select <strong>Program</strong> will take place in some of the most economically<br />
depressed urban areas of Southern California, including Compton,<br />
South Central Los Angeles, Norwalk, San Bernardino, the San<br />
Fernando Valley and Orange County. These areas are home to<br />
Our <strong>Grants</strong> <strong>Program</strong>s have supported over 450,000 players and 3,000 fields,<br />
with an increasing focus on economically disadvantaged urban areas.<br />

INNER CITY SOCCER (FORT WAYNE, IND.)
approximately 65 independent Hispanic leagues, involving more<br />
than 60,000 youth players, all of whom operate outside the sphere<br />
of the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> Federation. With the implementation of the<br />
Interliga Select <strong>Program</strong>, the stage is set to identify talented youth<br />
and prepare them to compete at a higher level with increased<br />
opportunities for success.<br />
The Bay Area Outreach and Recreation <strong>Program</strong> (BORP) is<br />
focused on bringing the game of soccer to individuals who would<br />
not otherwise have access to the sport because of their disabilities.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s award will be used by BORP to help develop<br />
a national team of elite athletes to compete internationally; to<br />
increase local, national and international awareness of the sport;<br />
and to be a leader in providing equal access for everyone to soccer,<br />
a sport that continues to unify the world.<br />
<strong>Soccer</strong> United Recovery Fund<br />
Two years removed from the devastating effects of Hurricanes<br />
Katrina, Rita and Wilma, the <strong>Soccer</strong> United Recovery Fund continued<br />
to provide important funding and resources to help rebuild the<br />
game across the Gulf Coast region. The <strong>Foundation</strong> established the<br />
Recovery Fund in September 2005, in partnership with Eurosport<br />
and other national and regional soccer partners, as a response to<br />
the immense challenges facing the game throughout the region.<br />
To date, nearly $600,000 in direct grant support and donated<br />
equipment has been provided to over 30 local communities from<br />
south Texas to Florida, including three fi eld projects in Louisiana.<br />
Thanks to the generous support of more than 1,000 soccer<br />
enthusiasts and dozens of generous companies, the Recovery Fund<br />
has touched 14,000 players, coaches and referees across the Gulf<br />
Coast region.<br />

Passback <strong>Program</strong>/<strong>Striker</strong><br />
Passback<br />
Share the Equipment. Share the Game!<br />
Without the proper equipment you can’t get into the game.<br />
The Passback <strong>Program</strong> is designed to help meet the soccer uniform<br />
and equipment needs of all communities, regardless of income,<br />
gender or location by collecting and distributing new and gently<br />
used equipment. The grassroots initiative is a joint effort among the<br />
U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>, Eurosport and Major League <strong>Soccer</strong> (MLS).<br />
This summer the <strong>Foundation</strong>, along with presenting sponsor<br />
Western Union, organized a series of soccer skills clinics for urban<br />
Hispanic youth across the country. The 2007 Passback Tour<br />
reached approximately 1,000 children in eight cities — Chicago,<br />
Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, New Orleans, New York<br />
and Washington, D.C. The clinics were run by professional<br />
players, including several MLS stars, and local youth coaches.<br />
Each participant received a new soccer ball (donated by SCORE<br />
American <strong>Soccer</strong> Company) and a jersey (donated by Jerzees). The<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s long-time partner, Eurosport, provided logistical<br />
support and raffl ed off prizes at many of the clinics. The 2007 Tour<br />
was a fantastic success — look for the 2008 Tour coming to a city<br />
near you! Visit passback.org to learn more.<br />
Individual “Passback Stars” continued to organize collection<br />
events in their local community. The <strong>Foundation</strong> encourages<br />
boys and girls to become Stars by collecting a minimum of<br />
250 pieces of soccer equipment for children in need in their<br />
community. Eighteen-year-old Tanner King, of Houston, Texas,<br />
had a particularly strong impact on his community. King, one of<br />
81 young people across the country to become a Passback Star this<br />
year collected 2,118 pieces of equipment for distribution to local<br />
children as part of an Eagle Scout project.<br />
Throughout the 2007 season, MLS teams collected fandonated<br />
new or gently used soccer gear as part of the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s MLS Passback Challenge. MLS teams appointed a<br />
Passback Spokesperson to represent the team at Passback collection<br />
and donation events, as well as to encourage fans’ participation.<br />

Field <strong>Grants</strong><br />
Building <strong>Soccer</strong> … One Field at a Time.<br />
Many U.S. cities lack suitable places for sports and<br />
recreation. Field <strong>Grants</strong> from the <strong>Foundation</strong> help provide<br />
young people, especially inner city children, with more places<br />
and opportunities to play The Beautiful Game.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> awards three types of grants supporting<br />
the construction and improvement of soccer fi elds. All<br />
Conditions Fields (ACF) <strong>Grants</strong>, awarded through the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s partnership with NikeGO, support the<br />
development of synthetic grass fi elds. Field Enhancement<br />
<strong>Grants</strong> improve fi elds by adding new goals, irrigation and/or<br />
lighting. Planning <strong>Grants</strong> provide funding assistance to develop<br />
a master plan for proposed fi eld projects through the support<br />
of <strong>Foundation</strong> partner Clough Harbour Sports.<br />
In addition, the <strong>Foundation</strong> published The <strong>Soccer</strong> Field<br />
Handbook in 2007, with the assistance of <strong>Soccer</strong> America.<br />
The Handbook is a comprehensive resource on all things<br />
related to the development of soccer fi elds in your community,<br />
from getting local political approval to deciding whether to use<br />
synthetic or natural grass.<br />

<strong>Striker</strong>/Field <strong>Grants</strong><br />
This year, the <strong>Foundation</strong> awarded field grants to 26<br />
organizations to help provide more places to play the game<br />
of soccer.<br />
In 2007, the <strong>Foundation</strong> and its Partners joined several<br />
Grantees in celebrating the grand opening of new All<br />
Conditions Fields.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> and Nike celebrated the opening of a worldclass<br />
FieldTurf mini soccer field at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater<br />
Washington — Robert V. Murray Clubhouse #11 (see cover photo)<br />
in southeast Washington, D.C. The new field is a significant<br />
improvement over the often-flooded parking lot it replaced. <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
star Freddy Adu joined the dedication festivities and led a soccer<br />
clinic for local children to inaugurate the facility.<br />
The City of Sacramento debuted its first synthetic soccer field<br />
with a festival including a 6-on-6 tournament, soccer clinics and a<br />
game among semi-professional players. Located in East Sacramento<br />
as part of the new Granite Regional Park Complex, the FieldTurf<br />
field provides new opportunities for children and adults to play the<br />
Beautiful Game on a state-of-the-art, all-weather field.<br />
An ACF Grant supported the development of a new FieldTurf<br />
training field at the University of Portland’s Clive Charles <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
Complex. The complex honors the legacy of the late Charles, who<br />
coached the University of Portland Men’s and Women’s squads<br />
until 2002. The field is a resource for the University teams and<br />
serves youth soccer programs in the Portland community.<br />

Major League <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
Playing with the Pros<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> has been a major partner of MLS for more than<br />
a decade. The <strong>Foundation</strong> and the League have a shared history,<br />
tracing back to the 1994 FIFA Men’s World Cup, and a common<br />
vision for the future, growing the game of soccer in the United<br />
States. MLS W.O.R.K.S. (the charitable arm of MLS), the League<br />
and its players are instrumental in supporting the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />
efforts.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> is an MLS Charity of Choice and the recipient<br />
of all player fines at the end of each season. All of these funds<br />
go into the annual grants pool. The MLS Players’ Award grants<br />
are provided annually in recognition of this contribution. The<br />
recipients are selected by the <strong>Foundation</strong>, in partnership with the<br />
MLS Players Union and those Union members chosen by their<br />
teams as “U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong> Humanitarians of the Year.”<br />
In 2007, the National Sports Center for the Disabled in Denver,<br />
the United Neighborhood Organization in Chicago and the<br />
Southern California Youth <strong>Soccer</strong> Organization in Los Angeles were<br />
designated as “MLS Players Award Grantees.” The grants provided<br />
equipment for thousands of players, coaches and referees touched<br />
by these organizations.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> further strengthened its partnership with<br />
the League’s players through a grant to the MLS Players Union.<br />
Midfielder/Major League <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
Kids are our<br />
future, and if you<br />
give them a chance<br />
to go and enjoy<br />
themselves, you’ll<br />
find some of the<br />
greatest players in<br />
the world. Some of<br />
the kids with the<br />
most ability will<br />
come out of places<br />
like Harlem where<br />
they haven’t got the<br />
money. It’s because<br />
the kids are hungry.<br />
They’re hungry to<br />
win and get a<br />
better life.<br />

This three-year award will help offset expenses associated with<br />
launching the Union’s new Career Development <strong>Program</strong>,<br />
designed to help prepare MLS players for life after their playing<br />
career. One aspect of the program is to match players with<br />
coaching opportunities across the country.<br />
MLS also promotes the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s signature Passback<br />
<strong>Program</strong> through highly visible field boards at stadiums and public<br />
service announcements airing during televised games. A Passback<br />
Spokesperson, designated by each MLS team, helps increase<br />
awareness and encourages donations to the program.<br />

Connecting Through <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> works to bring together diverse organizations<br />
supporting the growth of soccer.<br />
Urban <strong>Soccer</strong> Collaborative<br />
The Urban <strong>Soccer</strong> Collaborative extends the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s<br />
emphasis on economically disadvantaged urban areas beyond<br />
the awarding of individual grants. The <strong>Foundation</strong> organized<br />
the inaugural meeting of the Collaborative last year, laying the<br />
groundwork for networking and partnership opportunities among<br />
urban soccer programs nationwide. The Collaborative is open to<br />
any organization working to increase playing opportunities for<br />
inner-city children.<br />
This year, the <strong>Foundation</strong> launched the online home of the<br />
Urban <strong>Soccer</strong> Collaborative. Current members, or those interested<br />
in creating a new program, may now access best practices, success<br />

growing demand for soccer programs, equipment and facilities.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> spearheaded the establishment of the <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
Funders Network with the goal of connecting urban soccer<br />
organizations with soccer funders, and to provide a forum for<br />
members to share best practices and develop strategies for<br />
collaboration.<br />
The <strong>Soccer</strong> Funders Network, comprised of both public and<br />
private soccer charities, supports the growth of soccer, with a<br />
specific focus on serving children in economically disadvantaged<br />
rural and urban communities across the country.<br />
Through the <strong>Foundation</strong> website, the Funders Network<br />
provides an online resource for soccer clubs, teams and<br />
organizations seeking support. As the Network grows we hope it<br />
will encourage cooperation among soccer organizations to increase<br />
support for at-risk children, families and communities.<br />

It’s been said that, “defense wins championships” and<br />
that a strong team leads from the back. The <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
is very fortunate to have a strong and dependable<br />
backline of partners that support our efforts to expand<br />
the game to diverse communities across the country<br />
and around the world.<br />

Passion in Action<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Washington, D.C., location affords unique<br />
access to federal decision makers and global representatives who<br />
have a passion for the game and the benefi ts that come from<br />
playing it. The <strong>Foundation</strong>, and the game as a whole, is fortunate<br />
to enjoy the continued cooperation of key public leaders.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> recently completed a major grant project<br />
supported by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban<br />
Development enabling the construction of synthetic grass fi elds<br />
in central Los Angeles and Jacksonville, Florida, and the creation<br />
of soccer programs in the District of Columbia and rural eastern<br />
Kentucky. These four grants support soccer programs engaging<br />
more than 3,000 young people each year.<br />
Working with the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> Federation, the <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
provided the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Educational<br />
and Cultural Affairs with technical assistance and equipment for<br />
soccer exchanges in Africa and Asia, such as hosting Awista Ayub,<br />
founder of the Afghan Youth Sports Exchange, and a delegation<br />
of pioneering Afghani women (See photo at right). During their<br />
American odyssey, the group enjoyed exposure to all levels of<br />
organized soccer — including attending a clinic hosted by the<br />
Defender/Government Relations<br />

Washington Freedom women’s team, as well as D.C. United and<br />
U.S. Women’s National Team matches. The women received formal<br />
soccer coaching certifi cations before returning home to expand the<br />
opportunities for girls in Afghanistan.<br />
With the arrival of the 110th Congress in January, the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> and the new leadership of the Congressional <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
Caucus cheered the expansion of the Caucus’ membership to a<br />
record high of nearly 40 members. The bipartisan group supports<br />
legislation, activities and events that promote the game. Some<br />
important issues being advanced by the <strong>Soccer</strong> Caucus include:<br />
● Addressing the need for more safe places to play soccer;<br />
● Encouraging public-private partnerships that utilize soccer to<br />
provide at-risk youth with structured after-school activities;<br />
● Promoting soccer as a lifelong healthy physical activity; and<br />
● Supporting the preservation of Title IX.<br />

Attention <strong>Soccer</strong> Supporters!<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s media outreach has increased the visibility of<br />
our organization, our Grantees and our Partners. The added visibility<br />
attracts new donors, partners and organizations in need of the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s support.<br />
Fox <strong>Soccer</strong> Channel produced and aired the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s 2007<br />

grand opening of the mini field in Washington, D.C. HDNet also<br />
aired the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s PSA during its MLS coverage.<br />
An official supporter of the Passback <strong>Program</strong>, Comcast<br />
SportsNet produced a 30-second segment featuring several D.C.<br />
United stars. The network aired the spot in the greater Washington,<br />
D.C., region during the 2007 MLS season to help D.C. United and<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong> collect equipment during the club’s home soccer<br />
matches.<br />
The Inter-American Development Bank, the Council of the<br />

Mobilizing <strong>Soccer</strong> Communities in the United States<br />
The United States soccer community includes a wide range<br />
of organizations and individuals working together to further<br />
the game. From grassroots community activism to top-fl ight<br />
international competitions, all organizations play their part.<br />
In 1994, the FIFA World Cup, the world’s most popular<br />
tournament, came to America. The U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> Federation hosted<br />
and organized the festivities, netting a signifi cant surplus. To<br />
manage those funds, the Federation established the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> in 1995. In the years that have followed the Federation<br />
and the <strong>Foundation</strong> have collaborated on a number of projects.<br />
Recently, the <strong>Foundation</strong> worked with the Federation to raise funds<br />
for the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> National Training Center at the Home Depot<br />
Center and for the Glenn “Mooch” Myernick Memorial Fund in<br />
support of urban soccer initiatives (see page 19).<br />
In 2007, the <strong>Foundation</strong> awarded a grant to the U.S. Adult<br />
<strong>Soccer</strong> Association to support the implementation of a national<br />
online registration system that will provide <strong>US</strong>ASA members with<br />
a centralized process to register players, track payments and<br />
communicate with teams and leagues. Once launched, the <strong>US</strong>ASA<br />
will be the fi rst national organization member of the U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
Federation with the ability to register players at the local level while<br />
simultaneously collecting player demographic information across<br />
the country.<br />

<strong>Soccer</strong> is the number one youth participation sport in within<br />
the United States and the <strong>Foundation</strong> enjoys a close working<br />
relationship with U.S. Youth <strong>Soccer</strong> (<strong>US</strong>YS), American Youth<br />
<strong>Soccer</strong> Organization and the <strong>Soccer</strong> Association for Youth . The<br />
organizations share similar beliefs about the benefi ts that soccer<br />
offers to youth and families in communities across the country. In<br />
September, the <strong>Foundation</strong> worked with <strong>US</strong>YS to promote Youth<br />
<strong>Soccer</strong> Month and educate the public about the joys, rewards and<br />
benefi ts of youth soccer.<br />

Remembering Friends of the Game<br />
Much of the <strong>Foundation</strong>’s work supports the next generation of<br />
soccer stars, but we follow in the footsteps of those who have come<br />
before us. The United States soccer community lost some icons this<br />
year. These individuals played an integral role in the growth of the<br />
game of soccer in the United States and they will be sorely missed.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> asks you to join us in remembering and celebrating<br />
the following friends of soccer whom we lost during the past year.<br />
JOHN GILMAN was the Chief Executive Officer of FieldTurf Inc.<br />
and worldwide CEO of the sports division of FieldTurf Tarkett. A<br />
professional football player and coach with the Canadian Football<br />
League’s Montreal Alouettes in the 1960s, Gilman built FieldTurf<br />
Tarkett into the largest entity in the sports surfacing industry and<br />
ensured that the company conducted extensive research and development<br />
to improve the quality and longevity of FieldTurf in its<br />
application across a variety of sports. FieldTurf has been a long-time<br />
supporter of the <strong>Foundation</strong>.<br />
LAMAR HUNT was an early investor in the North American <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
League and Major League <strong>Soccer</strong>. The Hunt Sports Group operates<br />
FC Dallas, the Columbus Crew, and, until 2006, ran the Kansas City<br />
Wizards. For his efforts to build soccer in the United States, Hunt was<br />
inducted into the National <strong>Soccer</strong> Hall of Fame, awarded the National<br />
<strong>Soccer</strong> Medal of Honor and received the MLS Commissioner’s<br />
Award. In 1999 The U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong> Federation’s National Championship<br />
was renamed the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup. Hunt also received the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s first “Lifetime Achievement Award” in 2005.<br />
GLENN “MOOCH” MYERNICK was an assistant coach on the U.S.<br />
Men’s National Team in the last two World Cups. He also coached<br />
the U.S. Under-23 and Under-17 Men’s National Teams and MLS’s<br />
Colorado Rapids. As a player, Myernick suited up for the National<br />

Team and U.S. Olympic Team, and starred in the North American<br />
<strong>Soccer</strong> League. The <strong>Foundation</strong>’s Mooch Myernick Fund, established<br />
at the request of the Myernick family, has raised more than $250,000<br />
for metropolitan soccer clubs and organizations to increase the number<br />
of urban children playing the sport.<br />
GINO PARIANI was a member of the 1950 U.S. World Cup team<br />
and the 1948 U.S. Olympic squad. He played for the mostly amateur<br />
U.S. squad in its shocking 1-0 defeat of England at the 1950 World<br />
Cup in Brazil. The story of the 1950 team was recounted in the 2005<br />
film, “The Game of Their Lives.” Pariani is a member of the National<br />
<strong>Soccer</strong> Hall of Fame.<br />
PAUL TOBIN was the founder of Official Sports International<br />
(OSI), which outfits amateur and professional soccer referees around<br />
the world. OSI has served as the exclusive supplier of U.S. <strong>Soccer</strong><br />
Federation referee apparel and accessories since 1998, and the<br />
company also supplies uniforms to referees in the English Premier<br />
League.<br />
DAVID VANOLE was a U.S. Men’s National Team player and<br />
coach. The goalkeeper led UCLA to an NCAA championship, played<br />
in the American Professional <strong>Soccer</strong> League and helped the U.S.<br />
squad during the 1988 Olympics and its qualification for the 1990<br />
World Cup. Vanole served as an assistant coach to college, professional<br />
and U.S. National teams. In consultation with the Vanole family,<br />
the <strong>Foundation</strong> established the David Charles Vanole Memorial<br />
Fund to help create and sustain soccer opportunities for underserved<br />
urban children, with an emphasis on communities in Southern California.<br />

Making Every Dollar Count<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> takes great pride in the fact that 100 percent of<br />
every dollar donated goes directly into one of its programs. The<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong>’s strictly controlled overhead costs are covered by earnings<br />
on its endowment. This means that every dollar of your gift, to<br />
the Major Charitable Arm of <strong>Soccer</strong>, is utilized to help build the sport.<br />
Since its creation, the <strong>Foundation</strong> has awarded more than<br />
$45 million in grants, financial support and loans to help develop<br />
coaches, players and referees, especially those in economically<br />
disadvantaged urban areas.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> has received the Independent Charities of<br />
America “Best in America” Seal of Excellence. This distinction is<br />
awarded to organizations that have, upon rigorous independent<br />
Administration 13%<br />
Development 4%<br />

review, been able to certify, document and demonstrate that they<br />
meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness<br />
and cost effectiveness. Of the one million charities operating<br />
in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 5<br />
percent, or 50,000, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those,<br />
fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> voluntarily submitted itself to be evaluated by the<br />
Better Business Bureau (BBB) Wise Giving Alliance and its standards for<br />
Charity Accountability. The report generated by the BBB Wise Giving<br />
Alliance can be found at give.org.<br />
In addition, the <strong>Foundation</strong> was once again selected as a<br />
designated charity for the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC<br />
11448) , offering an important avenue through which Federal<br />
civilian, postal and military employees may donate to the<br />
<strong>Foundation</strong> and its programs.<br />
