Celebrating $60K Raised Toward Our Goal!

We are thrilled to share that thanks to the unwavering support of our donors, we reached a pivotal milestone—$60,000 of our $85,000 goal!

The generosity of our community has enabled us to meet the $10,000 Challenge.

Your contributions are directly fueling the future of the Indianapolis Rowing Center, helping us:

  • Provide scholarships to make rowing accessible for all,
  • Purchase critical equipment, including a much-needed trailer and new launches

This milestone reminds us of the power of collective action. With your continued support, we're confident we can close the gap and fully fund this transformative effort.

Thank you for believing in our mission. Together, we’re launching IRC forward!

Let’s keep the momentum going—every gift makes a difference!

Rowing is expensive primarily due to the equipment and maintenance that is required. The Indianapolis Rowing Center is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization established with the mission to provide all individuals with the opportunity to try and participate in rowing. Donations to the Indianapolis Rowing Center help to provide financial aid and equipment to help lower costs, making rowing more financially accessible.

IRC provides novice and competitive rowing programs and clinics for youth and adults in addition to outreach programs that offer veterans, breast cancer survivors, and both youth and adult adaptive rowers the opportunity to experience this potentially life changing sport.
