Our Mission
The USA Triathlon Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and the charitable arm of USA Triathlon. Our mission is to transform lives through sport by providing opportunities to swim, bike and run.
We generate a greater impact on the multisport community through charitable giveback and grants that advance the Foundation’s three pillars:
- Encourage youth participation
- Inspire pathways to access and inclusion
- Ignite Olympic and Paralympic dreams
Since the Foundation was established in 2014, it has provided millions of dollars in grants to organizations and individuals in pursuit of its mission and pillars to create a healthier United States through triathlon.
Our Vision: A healthier America through triathlon
USA Triathlon Foundation Strategic Plan
