The National Rowing Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to raising funds to support rowing in the United States.
Founded in 1966, the NRF has provided important funding for the US National Team, ensuring that our athletes have the resources that they need to get them to the medal podium. We are proud of our history of supporting Olympic and World Championship athletes for more than five decades.
In January 2021 the NRF Board of Directors voted to expand its efforts to raise funds for additional efforts to strengthen rowing in the United States. Together the NRF and USRowing have identified three strategic fundraising priorities: The National Team*; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs; and Coaching Education.
By investing in these programs today, the NRF is committed to building the foundation of the sport for a stronger, faster and more inclusive tomorrow.
*NRF funds designated to the National Team provide support for the priorities of the USRowing High Performance Committee as set by USRowing leadership and its Board of Directors.
