Building a Strong FoundatioN
Building a Strong FoundatioN
As GT Crew continues to grow and evolve, we are committed to ensuring long-term, sustainable support for the program. Our goal is clear: within the next five years, we aim to increase the GTCA Endowment to $300,000.
This will help us create a lasting legacy that supports every rower and coach who will shape this incredible team for years to come.
This effort goes beyond just fundraising for one event or year - it’s about building a self-sustaining endowment that ensures stability and provides the team with the resources to train, compete, and succeed, now and in the future. Our endowment will empower the team to make strategic investments without relying on one-time donations.
WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS?
WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS?
Your contribution will directly support the next generation of rowers, ensuring they have the resources they need to thrive. By growing the GTCA Endowment, we can eventually provide funding for coaching salaries, maintain and upgrade the fleet, and give athletes the opportunity to compete at the highest levels.
In the coming years, we hope that the endowment could cover the cost of coaching and fleet maintenance, relieving the financial pressure from our athletes. This vision allows us to continue elevating GT Crew, ensuring it remains competitive and sustainable for decades to come.
Your support is crucial in helping us reach these goals. By committing to our endowment, you’re investing in the long-term success and legacy of GT Crew, and ensuring that future athletes have the same opportunities to grow and excel in the program that shaped us.
How Can You Help?
Donate to the GTCA Endowment: Your donation will contribute to the long-term financial security of the team. Every dollar helps us reach our goal of $300,000, setting the stage for GT Crew’s sustained success.
Donate Your Time or Skills: We are also seeking alumni to join the GTCA Board or support committees. Whether you’re interested in event planning, fundraising, or helping manage the team’s archives, your involvement is key to building a strong future for GT Crew.

To everyone who has supported us - whether you attended the 2024 Gala, donated, or shared your time with us - thank you. Your involvement has been invaluable and ensures that GT Crew will continue to thrive for years to come.
This inaugural 2024 Gala event was just the beginning. We’re committed to holding these events every four years to reconnect and continue building the legacy of GT Crew. So, plan to join us again in 2028 - but don’t worry, we'll meet again before then!
