Past Recipients | Grant Process | Grant Application

Since 1996, Oregon Youth Soccer Foundation has granted nearly $250,000 to Oregon organizations for soccer. Funds were used for field development, equipment purchase, staffing, lighting, promotion of the game, community outreach and computer equipment. Furthering our mission of providing funding to promote the development of youth soccer throughout the state, our long-term goals include College Scholarhips, Facility Development and Community Outreach.

In addition, last year's Grant Committee established the funding policies listed below.

  • Grant requests from non-OYSA member organizations that state an intent to become affiliated with or members of OYSA will receive priority funding consideration over non-affiliated applicants that do not state such an intent.
  • Proposals for field development projects will be viewed more favorably if they are collaborative and OSFY funds are critical to the project's success.
  • Proposals for hard assets will be given priority over proposals for operating or ongoing maintenance costs.
