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.
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.
