Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

WE BELIEVE IN COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT THROUGH SOCCER. OUR MISSION IS TO WORK WITH KENSINGTON AREA YOUTH AND FAMILIES TO PROVIDE POSITIVE, HEALTHY, AND ENJOYABLE YOUTH SOCCER ACTIVITIES WHILE BUILDING TEAMWORK, LEADERSHIP, AND COMMUNITY.

  • After School Soccer and Enrichment: Our after-school programs bring soccer and enrichment right to the students, at their neighborhood schools, breaking down a key barrier to participation, so that families that are not able to provide transportation or other support, can still participate. Children experience the positive effect of group activity in a familiar, safe welcoming setting, supervised by caring coach-mentors. They set goals, challenge themselves, and are supported in overcoming set-backs. We connect those families who want more involvement to our community- based programs and our organization-wide enrichment events and activities. Our after-school programs have a special emphasis on literacy and nutrition through our Soccer Athletes Value Education (SAVE) curriculum. The goal of SAVE is to help children build healthy habits and excel in academics from an early age, to promote future success. We implement this by having nutrition-focused activities during practices and frequently giving out free books. We also offer a full-day summer camp, where soccer is combined with a variety of daily enrichment activities, and visits to museums, the Franklin Institute, and other cultural and educational institutions.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
