Ways to Give

The Club has achieved a unique level of enduring success because of its dedicated team of staff and coaches with real passion for shaping young athletes, and because of generations of support from businesses and individuals who have made significant personal investments of time, energy, and resources.

The revenue SSWSC receives from program fees only covers 60% of total program expenses. Additional tax-deductible contributions from individual donors are essential to maintain high-quality programs today and strengthen the club for future generations.

We appreciate all the supporters who sustain us and enable us to remain one of the finest and most successful comprehensive winter sports clubs in the nation — producing not only Olympic-caliber athletes, but well-rounded individuals capable of becoming a vital part of our nation’s educational, cultural, and economic future.

Over 1,000 youth and young adults participate in SSWSC programs annually. The impact of these experiences is inspiring, but the overall cost can be prohibitive for some families. Current levels of scholarship funding help cover roughly 25% of athletes’ program fees for families that apply and are eligible for financial assistance. Contributions designated for the Scholarship Program are essential to making SSWSC programs accessible for all athletes.

We hope that every youth who is interested in participating in SSWSC will have access to the support needed to do so. SSWSC is about so much more than just winter athletics — our programs and coaches provide the building blocks for success in the lives of our athletes.

Athletes requesting financial assistance are required to submit a scholarship application, a copy of the previous year’s Federal 1040 Tax Return, and a personal financial statement. All submitted information is kept strictly confidential.

Over the last century, hundreds of extraordinary individuals have joined the Winter Sports Club as coaches. They teach the technical skills of winter sports, but perhaps more importantly — they teach kids how to get their heart, mind, body, and all their gear together in the right place, at the right time, over and over again. Through their words and actions they say, “You are enough. You can do it. I believe in you!”

More than $500,000 has been contributed by generous donors to establish the Coaches Endowment Fund. The Fund’s investment earnings support SSWSC’s ongoing commitment to attract and retain the most talented, dedicated coaches and mentors to fuel the hope and strength within each young athlete.

The SSWSC Foundation seeks to grow and manage endowment funds that will provide long-term sustainability and opportunity for all SSWSC children/athletes, coaches, and staff. The Foundation currently has assets of more than $5,000,000.

The Foundation’s assets and annual investment gains are essential to advance the mission by:

• Attracting and retaining highly qualified coaches, mentors, and staff
• Providing scholarship funds for qualified families
• Facilitating strategic capital improvements in facilities
• Ensuring and maintaining safe transportation
• Planning future allocations for increased participation
• Making annual allocations to support SSWSC operations (5% minimum)

Your participation in achieving the SSWSC Foundation’s fundraising goal of $10 million will dramatically improve the overall experience for all those we serve.
