Mission

At Next Goal Foundation, we believe that talent and determination should never be limited by financial barriers.

Founded by Albert Martin, a lifelong goalkeeper and coach who played through college thanks to the support of mentors and teachers, our foundation is dedicated to paying it forward — giving today’s athletes the same opportunities that once shaped his journey.

Next Goal Foundation exists to make sure that every young athlete has a fair chance to chase their soccer goals, no matter their financial situation. We provide scholarships, help with ID camp and travel fees, mentorship support, and meaningful community service opportunities.

Our mission is to empower student-athletes to grow in confidence, character, leadership, and faith as they pursue their next goal on and off the field.
