The Hearts of Pine Foundation is a 501c3 organization dedicated to using the sport of soccer to empower athlete leaders on and off the pitch; to build community health and belonging; and to serve as a hub of connection and learning to elevate soccer players and coaches across Maine, both on and off the pitch.

All donations go directly to supporting our Impact Programming, including the Portland Soccer Project, building accessible and safe courts across Maine for multigenerational play, and providing leadership opportunities for students and coaches. Some facts about Portland Soccer Project:

We have doubled our Portland Soccer Project (PSP) presence in one year, growing from 2 schools to 4, and from 60 students to 120 students for the 2026-2027 school year.
All programs are completely free to participants, who join the full school-year program. PSP fills a meaningful gap for students and families in the afternoon between dismissal and the end of a work day. In Maine, for every 5 students who need an after-school activity, there is 1 spot. PSP is working to narrow this gap.
Each school costs approximately $20,000 to operate per year. Our cost per student is $795/year (approximately $6.50 per session)
We are committed to expanding the Portland Soccer project sustainably in Portland and beyond. Thank you for your support!
