Mission Statement
The Ballard FC Foundation is the social impact arm of Ballard FC, Seattle’s USL League Two soccer club.

About This Cause
What We Do: Soccer is a powerful tool for social impact, and a soccer club provides a big platform. Free & Focused: All programming and equipment provided through BFCF will be focused on marginalized communities and be provided at no cost to participating youth. We estimate we will reach 1,000 youth in 2023. Quality Training: BFCF programs will feature age- and skill-appropriate, high quality sport training and other programming. Our programs will be developed by experts and implemented by trained, community-aligned staff. Leverage Ballard FC Club, Players & Coaches: Ballard FC has assembled a group of players and coaches representing our community’s past, present and future professional soccer heroes. We will leverage the status of these heroes to reach and impact youth in Seattle. Our Impact Pillars: Access Free soccer training and equipment provided at 1-day clinics, multi-day camps, multi-week impact academy (with multiple sports, nutrition, literacy and mental health elements) Connection We will lead a program to bring non-local players with powerful impact stories to Ballard FC and build community by involving Ballard FC fans in social impact projects (such as beach clean-ups or Foundation partner volunteer outings) Support Partner with and amplify the work of aligned social justice organizations within Ballard FC organization and fan base
