THE ROWING FOUNDATION
Providing grants towards the cost of boat equipment or boat refurbishments to support junior & student rowers, and adaptive rowing for all ages.
We match your spending up to a maximum of £4,000 per grant
Putting Young People on the Water
Our charity was established in 1980 with the aim of “putting young people on the water” and we remain true to this ethos today.
We help to fund equipment purchases (boats, blades etc) or boat refurbishments (such as a “hull & tops” service). The items must be for the use of Junior squads at clubs or at university boat clubs.
Most of our grants go to UK Rowing Clubs – but we also support clubs or organisations involved in “on water rowing-type” activities. Recent awards have been made to Gig clubs and Scout groups.
Support for Adaptive Rowers
In recent years, we have broadened the scope of our original charitable trust and now also offer grants to further adaptive rowing at clubs.
We can provide grants to help UK clubs and organisations purchase equipment to assist their Adaptive Rowing programmes, and to encourage Adaptive Rowers of all ages.
We are keen to hear from any organisation to see if a grant might help to get more people with any type of disability out on to the water.
Supported by Henley Royal Regatta Charitable Trust

Donate
We are an independent charity and are funded solely by donations.

Please consider making a donation to our charity.
