Overview
Mission
The Favela Project Inc. was established to help improve the lives of children in underserved communities through soccer-related activities. We currently have soccer training programs for children (running multiple weekly practices that are led by a professional soccer club and participating various tournaments.) as well as provideing meals, homework assistance, after school activities, and a place to live (dormitory) if necessary. We are a very small organization and entirely rely on donations to run these programs. We continue to help these communities with the donations we receive. The exempt status will enable us to reach out to more children in need.
What it reported doing in 2024
Soccer Training Program - Favela Project assists talented soccer players in underserved communities to develop skills by running multiple sessions on a weekly basis, and participate in various soccer tournaments that can potentially lead to signing contracts with professional teams.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
