East Bay United Soccer Club

East Bay United / Bay Oaks brings together experienced coaches and a long time history of player development on and off the soccer field in order to create a community for all soccer players to thrive.

In order to provide scholarships, high quality coaching and equipment, and increased opportunities for player development, we rely  on generous donations from the community. All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.

How can a cash donation help you?
As we are a not-for-profit organization, each cash (or prize) contribution is classified as a donation and thus eligible as a tax write-off; potentially saving you taxes at the end of the year. Upon request, the club will provide a letter for every cash/prize donation made, which can be provided to the person/organization that does your taxes.

How do I contribute to a specific fund that means more to me?
If you are interested in focusing your cash donation to something specific, please communicate your desire via email to info@ebusoccer.org

How do I contribute?
All individual donations can be made via a check made payable to East Bay United Soccer Club. Please ensure that the club name is on the check and the check may be sent to 312 Clay St. Suite #300, Oakland, CA 94607.

East Bay United Soccer Club works in partnership with club member families. The club functions smoothly with the help and support provided by the volunteers.

As a team, we are constantly dedicated to make our programs accessible and inclusive.
