The Global Foundation For Peace Through Soccer

The Global Foundation For Peace Through Soccer is a non-profit organization focused on using soccer as a vehicle to promote peace, cross-cultural understanding, and youth empowerment. The entity is registered as a tax-exempt corporate entity and foundation in the U.S. government's System for Award Management (SAM.gov) to receive federal grant funding.

The Global Foundation For Peace Through Soccer has received several project grants from the U.S. Department of State to implement programs that leverage soccer for diplomacy and cross-cultural exchange. A $177,993 grant from the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs funded the "Moroccan Voices Empowering Youth in Marrakech-Safi" program in Morocco, which aimed to empower youth through soccer activities. Another $14,961 grant from the Bureau of African Affairs supported a program in Tanzania to foster trust and positive relations between the U.S. and Muslim communities through soccer. Additionally, a $25,000 grant from the Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs funded training for English language teachers and a course for visually impaired or blind young people to increase employability and social participation. These grants demonstrate the organization's focus on using soccer as a tool for public diplomacy, youth development, and promoting inclusive societies across different regions.
