The Austin Soccer Foundation (ASF), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, supports underserved and economically disadvantaged residents in Austin and the surrounding five county area through the beautiful game. We focus on player and referee development, academic achievement, and field development while partnering with like-minded organizations that use soccer as the primary vehicle for giving back to our community.
* The Austin metropolitan area includes five counties: Travis, Williamson, Bastrop, Hays, and Caldwell.
Austin Soccer Foundation is led by volunteers to support our core value of fiscal responsibility. Funds raised through events and donations support our mission statement by directly impacting our community. Only five percent of funds raised have been used to cover administrative costs.
Our foundation relies on the generosity of individuals and corporations who share our vision of serving those that are less fortunate in our community.

ASF is proud to partner with the Texas School for the Deaf in development of a women’s soccer club. The Lady Rangers played their inaugural games in the 2017 spring semester in uniforms donated by the foundation. ASF used funds from the inaugural Austin Soccer Awards Banquet to purchase a pair of goals which will further assist their coaches and players in their training and development.
We are also proud to partner with Upper Ninety soccer foundation in the launch of their youth development program for teens in low-income neighborhoods in Austin. Visit Upper Ninetyfor more info.

ASF’s annual academic scholarship program assists graduating high school seniors from the Austin soccer community with their college education. We believe every participant needs to have an education to prepare them to be contributing members of our community, during and after their soccer careers. The scholarships may be used at any college or university, and are based on need, academic achievement, and community involvement. Award recipients are recognized at the annual Austin Soccer Awards Banquet. Past recipients include:

ASF is excited to partner with the Austin Independent School District and the Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders to help refurbish their soccer field. The field is used for practices for middle school and high school teams as well as middle school games. Following completion of this project, we will foster additional opportunities to improve distressed fields and partner with other organizations in the creation of new fields in low-income neighborhoods.
