Statements
As the national governing body, the mission of the United States Figure Skating Association is to provide programs to encourage participation and achievement in the sport of figure skating on ice.
The Memorial Fund
The Memorial Fund was created to honor our past, including those lost in the tragic plane crash of 1961, while also preserving the future of U.S. Figure Skating athletes. The fund aims to use, disburse, expend, apply and devote the income to promote physical health and development of young athletes, to encourage and foster them to continue growing within the sport.
How You Can Help
- Donations to the Area of Greatest Need gives U.S. Figure Skating the ability to respond to unforeseen opportunities and the flexibility to provide financial assistance to skaters and programs at a moment’s notice. An unrestricted gift is one of the most valuable gifts you can give U.S. Figure Skating.
- Over the past 50 years, the Memorial Fund has provided more than $20 million in financial support to thousands of skaters. It not only provides monetary assistance for training expenses but tuition assistance for athletes attending institutions of higher education.
- Specific disciplines, programs or funds: Designate your gift to benefit singles, pairs, ice dance or synchronized skating programs. Specifying your donation will allow U.S. Figure Skating to direct your gift into the fund that matches your intent.
- The history of figure skating is one to celebrate and share with future generations of skaters and fans around the globe. When you give to Preservation and Restoration, your gift will assist our Museum in preserving the rich history of the sport in order to be shared for years to come.
A planned gift to U.S. Figure Skating could make a world of difference. As a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization, U.S. Figure Skating can use planned gifts to help young athletes, establish new programs and continue to bring the sport of figure skating to athletes of all ages
