letter from the
executive director
This past year marked the first chapter of implementing our 2025-2030 Strategic Plan, grounded in clear goals: sharpening how we support Central Texas youth and strengthening our ability to sustain and grow our impact.
With Central Texas youth facing new and increasing challenges, we rooted in our mission to meet students where they are and remain committed to providing soccer spaces for them to learn, grow, and find pathways to success. Guided by a vision of a healthier, unified Central Texas community, we set ambitious goals to move us closer to that future:
By 2030:
1. One million people across Central Texas live within three miles of a 4ATX Foundation cultivated space.
2. 10,000 leaders aged 6–17 will be trained and confidently equipped for their futures and will choose leadership roles at various levels within their respective communities.
3. 4ATX will build a formal network of young people who become coaches, volunteers, interns, continued supporters of 4ATX Foundation, and lifelong fans of Austin FC.
These goals have driven decision-making at every level this year, enabling us to invest intentionally in the people, systems and partnerships that make long-term impact possible. From expanding our internal capacity and Board of Directors to forming new partnerships with dedicated community leaders, we’re positioning 4ATX to better serve Central Texas for years to come.
The impact reflected in this report represents the thoughtful, collaborative and long-term vision at the heart of what drives our work. We understand that we can’t do this alone and are deeply grateful for partners and supporters like you who make it possible. Together, we’re moving toward a brighter VERDE future.
Kaitlin Mauro,
Executive Director
4ATX Foundation
