Build the next chapter of play.
Put your business on the field where Hampton Roads kids play, and help us build more places for them to do it.
A small Hampton Roads nonprofit with a real, growing reach.
For the Players Foundation brings soccer to schools, parks, and community sites across Hampton Roads — the goals and the fields, plus the coaches, programming, and community that make a space matter. We've built three places to play, reached about 2,500 students, and signed up 272 players for free pickup soccer.
Sponsoring us isn't logo-on-a-website philanthropy. Your name shows up where families actually see it: on the field where kids play, in our monthly recap in the VB Schools FACE newsletter that goes across the entire school system, and in the community gathering around them.
Built by volunteers. Every dollar to date has gone to the players.
Every sponsorship is tax-deductible. We're a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
What kids get. What you get.
Every level puts kids on the field and puts your business in front of the families who see it. Each level includes everything before it.

In-Kind Support
Trucking, equipment, services, materials, install support, printing, landscaping, coaching hours — the goods, services, and time that make every activation possible. Right now we need a flatbed trailer (25 ft × 8 ft) and a truck to move donated goals. In-kind partners are recognized at the sponsor level that matches the value of their contribution.
Don't see what you're looking for? Let's talk.
Every sponsorship at this Foundation starts with a conversation. If you have a specific site in mind, a unique partnership idea, or a budget outside our standard tiers, I'd love to find the right fit together.
We're a small, founder-led 501(c)(3) — which means you don't have to go through committees, layers, or marketing departments to make this real. You talk to me, we figure it out, kids end up with a team, a coach, and a place to play.
