Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (1)
- Santos FC is a small club that prides themselves in supporting our local community. Coaches in our program coach because they love the game, want players to excel at every level, and care for the players success on and off the field. Coaches in our program do not get paid to coach. This is all volunteer. Every position at Santos FC is volunteer. We value and support our coaching staff and expect the reciprocal from members in our Santos FC. Our coaches work hard to help student-athletes use their athletic talents to further their education and soccer careers at the collegiate level. ASPIRE mentorship is offered to players to support them as they complete their FAFSA, Oregon Promise, and Scholarships. Coaches also help with mentorship on becoming visible to collegiate coaches and work to ensure players are reaching out to colleges. If college is not in your future, we help offer opportunities with job shadowing, trade school and other career interests. Our mission is to help students find success on and off the field. You know our coaches care about your players as not one individual at Santos FC is paid to coach. Coaches coach for the love of the game. Low rates, high level coaching, and player support is what Santos FC puts their focus on. Before we started Santos Football Club, we were looking for an accessible Soccer Club that wasn't just for pros-but wasn't just for fairweather sports fans either-and we couldn't find one. You see, we're all athletes at heart, having played little league, youth soccer, high school sports, and college athletics, So we made our own. We created a space we could be proud of, that would function as a home for all that love the game. A space where we support our local community and offer players affordable fees to play at the highest level with the best coaching. If you feel like sports are missing from your life, then we can help to get you back in the game.
