Safe Places to Play Grants

Description: Since 1995, the U.S. Soccer Foundation has awarded grants to more than six hundred organizations in the United States for projects designed to keep children in underserved communities active, healthy, and safe. In order to provide an opportunity for all children to play soccer, the foundation has taken on the task of providing children across the nation with places to play.

The foundation is accepting Letters of Inquiry for its Safe Places to Play program, which provides grants to organizations to help them build or enhance a field space in their communities.
