Financial Aid Overview:

The Revolution FC Financial Aid Program is intended to provide opportunities for financially disadvantaged youth players to participate in ECRFC soccer programs.

About the Program:

Donations


Financial assistance is made possible in part by the generosity of Revolution FC members, local individuals, families, and businesses. Even if you cannot donate at this time, take some time to see if your employer has a local community support/sponsorship program where they may be able to make a donation to our financial aid fund. 


Your cancelled check will serve as your receipt. If you need something additional for tax purposes please let us know and we will provide you with a letter acknowledging your donation.
