Whether you're a passionate soccer supporter or someone who believes in the power of grassroots organizing, here's why your donation matters this Giving Tuesday.

1. Empowering Soccer Fans Across the United States and Canada

The ISC is a vital organization that connects independent supporters' groups across North America. These groups work tirelessly to bring fans together, advocate for their communities, and enhance the fan experience. By supporting the ISC, you're helping provide the resources necessary for fan groups to grow, organize, and amplify their impact. Donations help create more opportunities for fans to participate in the soccer community, whether it's through organizing events, supporting local charities, or promoting fan-driven initiatives.

2. Supporting Grassroots Movements

The ISC stands for grassroots activism, where the power and passion of the fans shape the future of the sport. Giving to the ISC helps amplify the collective voices of fans who care deeply about their teams and their communities. It’s not just about cheering on a team—it’s about fostering connections, supporting social causes, and ensuring that the sport remains true to its roots. Donations to the ISC help fund our annual conference, advocacy efforts, and support for supporters' groups at every level of the game.

Your donation helps the ISC continue its work in breaking down barriers and making soccer a game for all.

4. Protecting Fan Rights

Fans often find themselves navigating challenges that arise from stadium policies, team management, and even media coverage. The ISC advocates for fan rights, pushing for policies that respect and uphold the interests of supporters. Whether it’s fighting for fair treatment at matches, improving accessibility, or ensuring fans’ voices are heard in decision-making, your donation helps strengthen this important work. The ISC provides supporters with a platform to address concerns and take action when necessary.
