Overview

Mission

We help local youths improve their lives and their communities through soccer.

What it reported doing in 2023

Minneapolis City Soccer Club offers a range of soccer teams, specifically designed for Minnesota players, offering the opportunity to play at a high level, and improve for collegiate opportunities and beyond. Some players affiliated with the club receive fee exemptions based on need to continue their training to earn or keep college playing opportunites and/or scholarship money while maintaining amateur status within the rules of the NCAA. All players are asked to perform community service as part of their tenure with Minneapolis City. Usually this consists of providing clinics and training to local youth soccer players; involving neighborhood youth in playing, mentorship, and invitations to games; administering free futsal leagues for neighborhood children; and putting on and staffing youth soccer camps. However, community service has also included things as disparate as food bank collection and disaster relief.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 67% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
