The Word "Nonprofits"

The term "nonprofit" embodies many different meanings to different people; oftentimes, we use the word "nonprofit" and "tax-exempt" interchangeably. There are almost three dozen types of nonprofit organizations, we are considered a 501(c)(3). In short, we rely heavily on donors and fundraising to keep our club running! 

What exactly is a "nonprofit"? 

Nonprofits give people the opportunity to come together to work towards a common goal and turning dreams into actions. Nonprofits foster innovation and civic engagement, they drive economic growth and strengthen our communities each day. America has around 1.3 million nonprofit organizations, and we are happy to be one of them!

What does a nonprofit do? 

There is no one way to define all of the different functions of a nonprofit, as every organization is different, however, they all aim to bring awareness and support to their cause. For example, here at Storm FC, we aim to provide quality soccer coaching to everyone regardless of their financial situations. Our talented and professional staff, instill weekly messages about Sustainable values (Leadership, Communication, Risk aversion, Team Building, Character Development and Social growth), leading by example, including ethics and praying before programs and games. We have also grown our presence in the community by hosting FREE soccer camps to communities all over North Texas.
