FC Sarasota is a 501c (3) non-profit organization (Tax ID#65-0017373) that serves the soccer players and families in the greater Sarasota community.  One of the goals for FC Sarasota is to allow every child to experience the sport of soccer in a positive, supportive environment, and at the level of play they can succeed in.  Furthermore, our mission statement is to better serve the Greater Sarasota area by allowing our youth to participate in a soccer program which promotes teamwork, character and skill development.  Our programs are modeled to allow players from ages 4 through 18 to participate in one of two settings; the recreational program geared for a casual and/or more participatory soccer experience, and 2) the Competitive Academy programs which are designed and implemented in a highly structured developmental environment. 

The main source of operational revenue is through player registration fees, fundraising and sponsorships.  Our goal is to keep player fees as low as feasible and in order to do so we must explore and foster relationships with funding sources such as corporate or private sponsorships, grants and foundations, which in turn allows us to be as inclusive as possible in our objectives to reach our community youth, regardless of socio-economic condition.  Our mission can only succeed through the generous support of corporations, foundations and individuals.  We offer many options for you to support our program through sponsorships and business and personal advertising in our club program.  Please consider providing FC Sarasota with a tax deductible financial sponsorship this year.  Your support is very much appreciated and we thank you in advance for your consideration.
