Why should I support SRA through Steady State Giving?
​
Steady state rowing is simple, satisfying, and the foundation on which rowing success is built. It’s continuous rowing at a consistent pace and effort. This straightforward practice is critical for the performance of a crew—it takes you from training to crossing the finish line on race day.
​

Just as steady state rowing builds your fitness and endurance, your sustained support for Sammamish Rowing Association makes our organization better. Your consistent giving empowers us to work towards our mission and realize our Strategic Plan every day. Your gift will help:
​
  • Keep and attract the best coaches and staff
  • Fund SRA scholarships
  • Maintain the boathouse and upgrade equipment
  • Invest in green technology like electric motors
  • Accomplish major projects like dock replacement

Your commitment to a recurring gift helps us plan, fund, and manage these goals and endeavors. Set your steady state gift and help SRA fulfill our mission to ignite a passion for rowing, encourage development of our members, embrace personal discovery, and celebrate team success.

Whether it’s the price of a cup of coffee a month or a larger commitment, your recurring gift will truly make a difference. We hope that you see the impact of your gift and can continue to give, but if anything changes you are able to cancel easily. Contact our staff with any questions.

What your gift might go towards....

SRA welcomes gifts to our general fund that will be put towards the area of greatest need. However, we do have specific funds you can donate to if you'd like to know exactly how your donation is making a difference. On our donation checkout page, simply click the drop down menu under "What would you like your donation to support" and choose the fund you would like to give to. If you would like your gift to go to the area of greatest need, simply choose "General Fund Project". Funds and their descriptions are listed below:

Scholarship Fund: Sammamish Rowing Association is on a mission to make rowing a more accessible and diverse sport. It's no secret that our equipment, travel, and various fees and expenses are costly. Financial barriers have unfortunately excluded those who could truly benefit from this life changing sport. With the help of our donors, we set aside thousands of dollars for scholarships every season to ensure that no one is turned away from rowing regardless of income. Donate to our scholarship fund to ensure everyone has an opportunity to row!

Equipment Fund: Equipment is an essential part of Sammamish Rowing Association and the sport of rowing. From boats, oars, coxswain boxes, microphones, ergs, workout equipment, riggers, and much more- keeping our equipment inventory full, updated, and expertly maintained is a large expense that is crucial to remaining a competitive rowing organization and providing enough opportunity for all our rowers within our growing membership. A gift to our equipment fund helps immensely! An example of equipment costs is below.
  • Oars, one sweep oar costs $330!
  • Grips, $10 each
  • Ergs, $850 per erg machine 
  • Cox Boxes, $550 per box

Dock Replacement Fund: Our dock allows us to launch multiple boats at once to get out on the lake quickly and make use of our full practice time during sessions. With a growing membership and fleet, the current size of our dock limits our ability to launch quickly and even causes some logistical issues with summer programs as boats try to go out or come in. The dock is in need of replacement so we can accommodate our growing programs and address safety concerns.
