USA Triathlon Foundation

USA Triathlon Foundation believes every aspiring elite athlete should get their shot at racing on the world stage and feeling the weights of an Olympic or Paralympic medal around their neck. Unlike most of our competing nations, U.S. Olympic sport organizations and their athletes do not receive any government funding. Support is more important than ever as governments around the world are increasing their financial commitment for our top competitors. Ignite Olympic and Paralympic Dreams program provides elite athletes and paratriathletes with support and opportunity to realize their potential and represent the United States on the world stage. These grants enable the United States to achieve unprecedented global triumphs by building sustained success at the sport's highest level and helping athletes reach their performance goals.

USA Triathlon Foundation believes every child should have the opportunity to be active and experience the joys of swim-bike-run. Encourage Youth Participation program helps us build connections across the country between schools, clubs, coaches, and race directors to offer training opportunities, equipment and resources, and to create the next generation of multisport athletes and leaders. The Empower NCAA Women's Triathlon program provides the ability for young women to chase their athletic dreams while pursuing their academic and community passions is an unmatched opportunity. Support for both grants for universities and colleges to start and maintain NCAA women's triathlon programs, and for individual student-athletes
