Overview

Mission

Para rowing foundation's sole mission is to facilitate a path to competition for athletes with disabilities by removing barriers to participation for para rowers.

What it reported doing in 2024

Para rowing foundation is a pioneering non-profit charity and the leading authority on para rowing, committed to making the sport inclusive and accessible for everyone. We are independent by design. This gives us the freedom to support para athletes wherever they are, whoever they row for, and whatever their goals may be. We work with individuals, clubs, coaches, and organizations to help build stronger, more inclusive rowing communities.
