Mission & Focus Areas
Cal South’s articles of incorporation state that its primary purpose is to promote and provide nonprofit public educational soccer competition for youth, including education in soccer rules and skills, wholesome competition, physical development, athletic skills, character, and sportsmanship. The organization’s 2024 filing describes programs including adult soccer, TOPSoccer, youth programs, tournaments, coach and referee education, and player development.
The Foundation’s website says its grants are intended to help grow soccer in Southern California by covering equipment or other costs needed to start or maintain a soccer program. Its 2025 guidelines listed equipment, coaching and referee education fees, and fundraising merchandise as eligible expenditures.
The 2021 grantees included organizations with varied soccer-related missions. Santa Barbara Soccer Club described its work as youth soccer development and amateur athletic competition through coaching, training, and competition. Southern California Blues Soccer described its mission as training, competition, and recreation for female athletes. Tudela Futbol Club Los Angeles said it provides girls with training and access to facilities and uses community partnerships to support social change. Other grantees described youth soccer clubs focused on player development, training, sportsmanship, and positive opportunities for young people.
Grantmaking
The Foundation’s 2025 grant cycle was for the remainder of the 2024–25 seasonal year, from February 1 through August 31, 2025; that cycle has ended. Awards varied, with a maximum award of $1,000 under the published guidelines. The guidelines limited eligibility to clubs that were Cal South members in good standing, operated within its jurisdiction, and agreed to comply with applicable permits, codes, and regulations. Clubs with an employee or member currently serving on the Foundation Board were ineligible. Coach or administrative compensation, field rentals, and tournament expenses were listed as ineligible.
For the 2025 filing, the IRS data lists zero grants. The available 2021 grant examples include $7,000 to Santa Barbara Soccer Club; $4,000 each to Southern California Blues Soccer, Riverside City Football Club, and Tudela Futbol Club Los Angeles Inc.; $3,000 to PSA Soccer Club Inc.; and $2,000 each to FC England, Milan SC, and Conejo Valley United Soccer Club. These examples do not establish the Foundation’s total giving for 2021.
The published process said the Program Administrator provides applications to clubs requesting assistance, reviews applications to determine eligibility, notifies ineligible applicants in writing, and provides eligible applicants with a scope of work and necessary documentation or specifications.
