How
to contribute

The funding provided for the S.A.F.E. Foundation is directly used for developing programs for underprivileged children such as:
Our Mission
The SAFE Foundation provides underprivileged children with opportunities they would not normally enjoy. The SAFE Foundation is involved in supporting programs that directly improve the well being of underprivileged children.
Aleks Mihailovic
founded the SAFE Foundation in 1987 to help underprivileged children participate
in soccer camps, clinics,
and specialized training sessions.
However, the purpose of the SAFE Foundation goes beyond benefits on the soccer
field. Past financial contributions have encouraged children, through sports,
to achieve higher goals in education; to be more motivated in their schools;
and to stay off the streets.
The SAFE Foundation is a 501c not-for-profit organization. Click here for more information about becoming a partner.

The SAFE Foundation would not exist today without time, vision, and energy. Our volunteers are highly dedicated to the cause and they make contributions to help children throughout the United States.
