Port St. Lucie Youth Football League Files Nonprofit Taxes Since 2001

The Greater Port St. Lucie Football League, a nonprofit youth football organization based in St. Lucie County, has filed federal tax returns continuously since at least 2001, according to IRS records reviewed by the TC Sentinel.

The organization, which files the 990-EZ short form used by smaller nonprofits, submitted its most recent available return on Feb. 15, 2023, covering fiscal year 2021, IRS records show. The league has filed returns for most years dating back two decades, reflecting a long-standing presence in the Port St. Lucie youth sports community.

ProPublica's Nonprofit Explorer, which tracks IRS filings, notes that the Greater Port St. Lucie Football League is no longer listed on the IRS's most recent registry of tax-exempt organizations. Filings associated with the organization's Employer Identification Number remain in the federal database. Whether the league remains active or has been dissolved is unclear from the public record alone.

Youth football leagues operating as nonprofits in Florida are typically organized to provide low-cost athletic programming for children and are governed by volunteer boards. Financial details from the organization's most recent 990-EZ filing were not fully extracted in the public database.
