“The two primary objectives of Lower Merion Soccer Club are: To provide each and every child with a fun filled experience in a soccer environment. To develop children's soccer skills and knowledge of the game so that they can play at higher levels of play in future seasons.”From the organization's Form 990 for the year ending Dec 2025, as written (including spelling); all-capital text shown in normal capitalization.

Lower Merion Soccer Club finances

From the annual returns the group files with the IRS (Form 990, or the shorter Form 990-EZ for smaller groups), 3 filed years. Net assets are what it owns minus what it owes; management and general is office, admin and insurance cost. A dash means not reported (the short form does not ask for employees or volunteers). Each figure links to that year's return. A year is left out when no return is in the IRS e-file data; that does not mean the group was inactive.

Revenue trend: Growing. Revenue went from $1,675,772 (year ending Dec 2021) to $2,611,699 (Dec 2025), about +12% a year.

Growth label: we compare total revenue on the oldest and the newest return shown above. Growing means revenue rose by more than 10% a year on average, Shrinking means it fell by more than 10% a year, and Steady means a change between -10% and +10% a year. The rate is the compounded yearly average between the two returns, so it hides ups and downs in between (see the table). We only label groups with returns at least a year apart and at least $5,000 of revenue on the oldest one. This is our own calculation, not an IRS rating or a judgment of quality.
