As an Olympic sports organization we are dedicated to helping climbers become world-class competitors. By empowering national teams, clubs, coaches, parents, officials, volunteers and fans, we are committed to the progression of our sport, our athletes’ success, and the value of the team.
Circle of Gold embodies a committed group of donors that believe in better supporting our athletes so that they can reach their fullest potential. Unlike their international competitors, USA Climbing athletes receive no government funding. Athletes are solely funded through the generous donations of individuals, foundations and corporations.
Your support will ensure our athletes have access to world-class coaching, training, technology and direct athlete support they need to strive for medals on the biggest stage and inspire our nation.
Join the Circle of Gold today!
Impacts of Funding the Dream
The reasons for making a gift are personal and varied. While larger gifts are instrumental in achieving our transformational goals, gifts of all sizes are just as essential to our well-being and growth. Even the smallest gift helps us to support our athletes’ dreams. Below are a few examples of how philanthropic support directly impact our athletes.
$100 – Gift will fund a nutritional consultation for an athlete

$10,000 – Gift will host a national team training camp at the National Training Center in Salt Lake City, UT
