Since being established in 2014, the USA Triathlon Foundation has transformed thousands of lives through grants to organizations, programs and individuals in pursuit of its mission and pillars to create a healthier United States through triathlon.
We offer three types of grants to foster the growth of multisport: Youth, DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access), and Bridget Inspires. Additionally, the multi-year grant Impact Partner Program drives sustainable and scalable impact for organizations dedicated to making positive change in the multisport community.
Youth Pillar Grants
USA Triathlon Foundation Pillar Grants support programs and individuals who encourage youth participation.
The impact this program has on the kids’ experiences allows them to learn tough life lessons and develop mental strength and courage, which will be applied on and off the race course.
DEIA (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Access) Pillar Grants
USA Triathlon Foundation Pillar Grants support programs and individuals who inspire pathways to diversity, equity, access and inclusion.
