The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation (USOPF) is the nonprofit that powers Team USA behind the scenes, helping provide the resources athletes need to train, compete and thrive on and off the field of play. As the fundraising arm of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC), the Foundation fuels athlete success through the generosity of supporters across the country.
Unlike most National Olympic Committees, the USOPC does not receive federal funding for its Olympic & Paralympic programs. That means Team USA athletes are proudly funded by sponsors and fans.
One of the easiest ways to make an impact is through the Team USA Fund. It’s a simple, secure way to support athletes and the resources they rely on, from financial assistance and training center access to mental health services and career support. When you give to the Team USA Fund, 100% of your gift goes to athletes and the programs that make their dreams possible.
