Grant Opportunity: US Soccer Foundation Safe Places to Play

The U.S. Soccer Foundation believes that every child deserves the opportunity to play soccer in a safe place. Urban areas often lack available space for children to play outside. In order to provide an opportunity for all children to play soccer, the U.S. Soccer Foundation has taken on the task of providing children across the nation with places to play.

Their Safe Places to Play program provides grants to organizations to help them build or enhance a field space in their communities. To date, the Foundation has helped create over 1,100 safe places for children nationwide. The next Grant cycle application deadline is October 1, with LOIs due by 9/24/2014.
