Mission
The Karen Football Association empowers the Karen community and other refugee communities of Burma through the game of soccer. We are committed to building pathways from youth to adulthood that foster life skills, physical and mental well-being, nutritional awareness, and career development. From the youngest ages of our youth soccer academy all the way through to our men's and women's semi-professional teams, we use sport as a tool for healing, growth, and opportunity-helping individuals thrive on and off the field while strengthening the identity and resilience of our communities.
Each tax year counts once: when a return was amended, only the latest return for that period is used below (superseded returns stay listed, greyed, under Finances).

Who gave
Contributor names are not public for this form type.
Public charities filing Form 990 or 990-EZ report large donors on Schedule B, but the IRS withholds their names and addresses from public copies. Private foundations (990-PF) are different: their contributors are public.
Finances
Newest first. Each filing: its name on one row, its figures on the row beneath. Greyed filings are superseded by a later return for the same period and are left out everywhere else on this page.

Where the money went
Every expense line on each return, biggest first: Form 990 Part IX (with its program, management and fundraising columns), 990-EZ Part I, or 990-PF Part I. Event marks lines the organization itself describes as events. “Events” in each summary adds those lines, conferences and meetings, and the direct costs of fundraising events. Unusual is not the same as improper. Many of these patterns have ordinary explanations. Check the filing.
