The USA Climbing Foundation is the nonprofit fundraising arm of USA Climbing – the National Governing Body (NGB) of Sport Climbing in the USA. The mission of the USA Climbing Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, is based on two pillars: Transformation & Triumph.
Climbing satisfies a basic human instinct to strive as an individual and as part of a community. The practice of climbing builds problem solving skills, physical and mental resilience, and confidence for participants at all levels and has the power to transform one’s outlook about what is possible. With the assistance of donors, USA Climbing seeks to bring this transformative power to as many participants as possible.
Your donations help USA Climbing seek innovative ways to:
Climbing can inspire its participants and the public through excellence at the elite level. Significant financial resources are required each year to prepare our elite climbers for World Cups, World Championships, and Olympic Games. Costs such as for equipment, travel, and medical support can be overwhelming for athletes and their families trying to balance training and competing with the demands of school or work. USA Climbing relies on the generosity of the climbing community and the American public to help our athletes remain competitive with the rest of the world.
Members of the USA Climbing Foundation Board of Trustees make a substantial financial commitment for four years.
The USA Climbing Foundation Board of Trustees serves as an active fundraising board for the national governing body of USA Climbing. Through making personal philanthropic commitments, and cultivating relationships with others, Foundation Trustees help to advance the fundraising goals of USA Climbing. Members of the USA Climbing Foundation play a special role in nurturing the greatness within our athletes, organization and climbing community and helping us achieve our fundraising goals for the benefit of all pillars of the organization.
