Fundraising

Isabelle — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 04:40:36 +0000

Unlike some other sports and many of our foreign competitors, U.S. sailors are not fully funded by a national sports organization. U.S. Sailing’s Olympic Sailing Committee is currently taking steps to rectify this imbalance over the coming decades. But, for the next several years, sailors will continue to bear the responsibility for raising the majority of the funds necessary to finance their efforts.

470 Team USA relies almost entirely on private donations and corporate sponsorship to finance our training and competition. Individual supporters can be part of the quest for Olympic gold through tax-deductible campaign contributions, per the instructions to the right on this page. These funds are used for equipment, travel to training camps, boat transportation, and competition-related expenses, among other items. A more detailed breakdown of our expenses and fundraising targets can be found by clicking here. For more information on corporate sponsorship opportunities, please visit our Sponsorship section.
