A field report on Fram CQ — the competitive arm of a South Bay club that traces to 1964, now in the Girls Academy Southwest — built from thirteen years of its own Form 990 filings, fiscal years ending April 2011 through April 2023.
Across thirteen filed years, Fram CQ's board has taken essentially nothing — the only compensation on record is a $6,600 payment to the treasurer in FY2023. No six-figure staff appears in the summary data.
“Fram” files under two separate EINs: Fram CQ (the competitive club on this page) and Sports Klubben Fram Soccer Inc, a smaller entity that files a 990-EZ with about $110K of annual revenue. They share the Torrance / Manhattan Beach base and the 1964-founded club history.
Revenue sat near $1.5M for most of the 2010s, dipped in the pandemic years, then jumped to $2.74M in FYE April 2023. Like several South Bay clubs in this project, Fram CQ books nearly all of that as contributions rather than program service revenue.
Fram CQ carried six-figure liabilities through most of FY2015–FY2022, peaking at $614K in FY2022 — unusual for a club this size — then reported them down to $27K by FYE April 2023.
The FY2023 return was filed in July 2025, more than two years after the fiscal year closed. Returns before FY2014 exist only as older PDFs with no extracted data.
Both are small California soccer nonprofits registered to the same South Bay club. Neither has a for-profit sibling company on record.
The competitive club — the entity that carries the Girls Academy program. Its board is volunteer; the only paid line in the record is a $6,600 treasurer payment in FY2023.
The older, smaller entity — “Sports Klubben Fram” is the club's Scandinavian-heritage name. It files a short-form 990-EZ, reports zero officer compensation, and carries no debt. Its exact operating relationship to Fram CQ is not spelled out in either filing.
Every officer Fram CQ lists reports $0, with one exception: the FY2023 treasurer, at $6,600. No key employees appear in the summary data.
