Ways To Give

To raise the large sums of money required for a $15.5M+ endowment, we first have to raise modest sums of money to amplify the effectiveness of our passionate volunteers. Therefore, in this first phase of fundraising, we are seeking to raise $200,000 so that we can hire personnel, establish infrastructure, and organize events. Personnel may include a full-time fund-raising professional, part-time administrative support, and/or student interns. Infrastructure may include developing a client resource management system (CRM), purchasing wealth screening software, purchasing a contact database, and/or increasing our social media presence. Organizing events may include a fall swim meet, regional gatherings, and/or a spring fundraiser. 

To be clear, the funds raised in this first phase will be directed towards personnel, infrastructure, and event organization, and therefore are unlikely to directly support student athletes or a reinstated swimming and diving program. Rather, these funds will be used to lay the foundation for acquiring the large donations necessary to establish a program-sustaining endowment.
