non-profit select soccer clubs.

Press Release Body = Public Information Available to Members

If you are a member of a non-profit organization, which most soccer clubs are, you are entitled to view documents pertinent to the club.

Some of these are:

IRS - 1023 - Non-profit application
IRS - 990 - Yearly financial report to IRS
Club Bylaws - What does the Club believe in?
Club Checking Account - Where is your money going?
Coaching Contracts - What does your coach make?
Board Meeting Minutes - What is happening with the Club?

These documents can be requested in person (club has three days to get information to you) or in writing (club has 30 days to get information to you)(the Club can charge for the copying expense of these documents). If a Club fails to provide you with the information you requested without a reasonable explanation, you have the option of reporting them to the Internal Revenue Service. As a paying member of a Club you become an owner and therefore are entitled to the same information on the Club that a shareholder of a company would expect to receive in return for buying stock.
