of course 🙄...it's their business to run leagues nd tournaments - it's NOT a charity

And the fact that it is a for profit business is hard to take for most of the clubs which are not of profit, as are US Club, ECNL, USYS, GAL, etc.

The distinction between for profit and nonprofit is often inconsequential. Clubs are not charities. Look at how much the top people at clubs pay each other to determine their true nature. We’ve been at a number of different clubs with our kids and there’s little doubt they are businesses.

You have no clue what you are talking about. You have probably never run a business nor know anything about the finances of the club you write your check to. Most of the clubs in NJ are true not for profits and have a decent % of players on some type of scholarship. Not for profits pay their staffs, which is probably the biggest thing you don't get. Like any industry the market drives what these people are paid. You are also probably one of those people who think only people like you should get paid. If you don't like that you are paying full freight and the kid who put your kid on the bench is not, that is between you and the club.

Know a lot about the finances of our the club since all nonprofits are required to file Form 990 with IRS which lays out their finances. All 990s are publicly available. Ours says nothing about scholarships expenses (or where the revenues for these scholarships would come from), the top guys running club pay themselves well over 100k, though pres has another day job. Hardly a charity.

Other form 990s have also been discussed on this website. You should investigate 990s , though I doubt you are interested in finding out the truth because you are almost certainly in the biz.

Don’t forget about MO at PDA, not only getting paid but also setting up a recruiting pipeline to benefit his Rutgers squad...how is that not an NCAA violation??? I don’t know the rules but it just don’t seem right.

The people you mentioned getting paid are employees. As I stated you clearly do not understand that Not for profits still have to pay employees. They are both getting in the range of what girls side docs get paid in the Tri state are, and are not the highest paid. You also like I said begrudge them for having other jobs. Not only are you not real bright, you are a socialist. Take your kid back to the town club where the DOC gets paid 30K if that is your big issue.

I think what OP was trying to point out is that their are many so called non profits in many industries not just soccer that are really in name only in order to take advantage of the tax rules...

Paying salaries of $100-150K to many people with total renvue of around $2m/year ..is that really a non profit...

Idiots think non-profit means charity. It doesn't, the rules are set that certain monies are set aside for certain duties and that X amount is spent on goals. Many, even smaller 1-5 man non-profits fund raise constantly and have the board members having job rolls to take on salaries PLUS allow for the 10yr rule for college loan forgiveness. I know a dozen teachers who have done this.

I believe the OP was pointing out that some of the clubs are 501c and are actually listed legally as an educational entity thus making it "legal" ..but not truly a 501 in the actual spirit of the law...

To be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may not be an action organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates.

Organizations described in section 501(c)(3) are commonly referred to as charitable organizations. Organizations described in section 501(c)(3), other than testing for public safety organizations, are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions in accordance with Code section 170.

The organization must not be organized or operated for the benefit of private interests, and no part of a section 501(c)(3) organization's net earnings may inure to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual. If the organization engages in an excess benefit transaction with a person having substantial influence over the organization, an excise tax may be imposed on the person and any organization managers agreeing to the transaction.

Section 501(c)(3) organizations are restricted in how much political and legislative (lobbying) activities they may conduct. For a detailed discussion, see Political and Lobbying Activities. For more information about lobbying activities by charities, see the article Lobbying Issues PDF; for more information about political activities of charities, see the FY-2002 CPE topic Election Year Issues PDF.
