What The Colorado Soccer Foundation does
Mission
Make the game of soccer accessible to all kids who want to play
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
The Colorado Soccer Foundation has 3 core programs designed to provide access to soccer for kids who want to play. 1) Pick up play is offered 6 days a week at Soccer City Aurora, a youth sports facility with turf fields, lights, and a community lounge area. 2) After School programming is offered in around 30-35 schools each Fall and Spring season, providing soccer to approximately 1000 kids each season with 2 practices per week at their school and one Game Day on Saturdays hosted at Soccer City Aurora. 3) Skills sessions are structured sessions held during the summer for kids aged 3-12. Every program has scholarship opportunities and/or a "pay what you are able" fee structure to ensure that finances are never a barrier for families to participate.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $4.9M to $5.3M (+9%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 0% · 2022 2% · 2023 0% · 2024 18%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
55% of The Colorado Soccer Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (18% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 14 funders, grant income fell $487k → $358k.
6 of 20 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 17% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $373k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Against its field
The Colorado Soccer Foundation is better cushioned than half of the 10,453 recreation & sports nonprofits its size.
