Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Annual high-performance funding to Olympic and Paralympic national governing bodies
Its own fundraising affiliate, US Olympic & Paralympic Foundation
Winter sport bodies: ski, speedskating, bobsled/skeleton, luge, curling, biathlon
Paralympic and adaptive sport organizations, including blind and wheelchair athletes
Anti-doping science through Partnership for Clean Competition Research Collaborative
Token $12,500 gifts to small community sport and health nonprofits

Typical grant

The median check is $775,676 and the middle half runs $163,713 to $1,468,640, which reflects a sport-by-sport allocation rather than project proposals. The largest checks go to the affiliated United States Olympic & Paralympic Foundation ($13.1M and $14.6M) and to the biggest-team sports like US Ski, USA Track & Field, and USA Swimming; the smallest are $1,000 to $12,500 one-offs. Nearly every recipient repeats year over year at similar levels, with amounts stepping up into the 2024 Games year.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“OLYMPIC/PARALYMPIC SUPPORT”
“Partnership for Clean Competition Research Collaborative”
“United States Olympic & Paralympic Foundation”
“Olympians & Paralympians Relief Fund”

Positioning adjacent work

The only research line in the record is anti-doping; frame work as clean competition science and expect roughly $250,000.
Route sport science or athlete health work through a funded NGB's budget rather than seeking a direct grant.
Adaptive sport is a live theme: blind athletes, wheelchair basketball, and Lakeshore all drew mid-six-figure support.
Do not model a request on the seven-figure grants; those are formula allocations to recognized governing bodies.

Worth knowing: This is a closed system: 106 recipients are almost entirely recognized national governing bodies receiving formula-driven high-performance funding, and the Colorado concentration simply reflects where those bodies are headquartered. Outside the NGB list, giving is tiny and looks relationship-driven, with $12,500 gifts to a handful of community nonprofits and a single $250,000 research collaborative.
