USAT Foundation Launches Elevate28 Campaign With $1M Gift from Michael and Audra Mallow
The USA Triathlon Foundation announced a $1M Mallow gift to launch Elevate28, a $28M campaign through LA28 and beyond.
An investment in the USA Triathlon Foundation is an investment in our community, sport and future.
As the charitable arm of USA Triathlon, the USA Triathlon Foundation supports grants and programs that advance three philanthropic priorities: encouraging youth participation, inspiring pathways to access and inclusion, and igniting Olympic and Paralympic dreams.
Encourage Youth Participation
Every child should have the opportunity to be active and experience the joys of swim-bike-run. Funding toward this priority helps develop and cultivate youth-centric coaches, clubs and events around the United States to enable kids to practice and train in camps, and participate and race with each other.
Inspire Pathways to Access and Inclusion
Everyone should have the support and ability to participate, grow and excel in triathlon and multisport. Funding toward this priority delivers resources for Together We Thrive – USA Triathlon’s diversity, equity, inclusion and access initiative.
Ignite Olympic and Paralympic Dreams
Every aspiring elite athlete and elite paratriathlete should have the opportunity to realize their potential and represent the United States on the world stage. Funding toward this priority enables the United States to achieve unprecedented global triumphs by building sustained success at the sport’s highest level and helping athletes reach their performance goals.

Providing Opportunities: Multisport Inclusion Experience
Twenty-two athletes ran, biked, and swam their way to the finish line at the 2025 USA Triathlon Multisport National Championships in Omaha — and for every single one of them, it was their first triathlon ever. They were part of the USA Triathlon Inclusion Experience, the USA Triathlon Foundation-funded program designed to open the doors of multisport racing to beginners through financial support, training plans, expert coaching, and community. Following the success, the program is set to expand to five races nationwide in 2026 with selected athletes receiving a free race entry, a USA Triathlon annual membership, training plans, coaching, and mentorship.
