Soccer Means More

At RAVE Foundation, we believe that soccer, unlike any other sport, inspires, includes and connects us all. We're turning this belief into action by making soccer free for as many communities as possible, in as many ways as we can. Learn how we're using ‘the beautiful game’ for good — in both traditional and unexpected ways.

Collaboration: Our Guiding Principle

We believe all communities throughout our state are beautiful in their diversity and valuable in their uniqueness. When we work with communities, we begin by listening, learning and asking them and ourselves the question - How Can Soccer Help? The answer to that question becomes a long-term collaboration with communities, rooted in shared values and true partnership.

Join Us in Building 26 MORE Fields by 2026

At RAVE Foundation, we believe every child deserves a place to play. That’s why we’ve inspired a statewide movement to build a total of 52 mini-pitches across Washington in communities where access to free play is limited. With strong community support, we brought 26 fields to communities statewide - in less than two years! Now, with FIFA World Cup 26™ coming to our state , we’re on a mission to build 26 MORE fields by 2026. Because, RAVE mini-pitches are more than just places to play. They create space for connection, belonging and opportunity.  

Learn more about 26 MORE by 2026 and how you can get involved.
