Sustaining growth through community support
From its inception, the NCWA has been a grassroots, volunteer-driven organization. Member teams do not receive traditional athletic department funding; instead, NCWA programs are primarily funded by students themselves and supportive local communities.
This self-funded model removes budget barriers allowing universities to form a wrestling program without needing to divert athletic department resources. However, it also means that external support and donations are vital to sustain and grow NCWA's initiatives. Coaching stipends, travel costs, and equipment are borne almost exclusively be the students.
The NCWA Lifetime Endowment Fund campaign aims to raise enough capital (an initial goal of $2.5 million) so that its annual investment returns (roughly 4%) can fund a full-time professional staff to carry on the NCWA's work as the founding volunteers eventually step aside.
Building this endowment is critical to the NCWA's long-term stability, and each contribution to it is an investment in the future of collegiate wrestling. Donations big and small make a vital difference.
Every donation, regardless of size, helps support collegiate wrestling
Select your giving amount and you can choose whether its monthly or one-time. If you donate $15/mo, you'll automatically be signed up for 'Alumni Club', and the same goes for the other monthly giving programs.
