Donate Today

At RIVERSPORT, every athlete’s journey begins with opportunity. 

Your support helps youth and adults discover confidence, community and possibility through rowing, paddlesports and outdoor recreation. From first-time participants to Olympic hopefuls, your generosity helps provide coaching, equipment, scholarships and access to programs that change lives on and off the water. 

Each year, donor support makes it possible for RIVERSPORT to provide thousands of hours of free and reduced-cost experiences for schools, adaptive athletes, youth programs and community participants across Oklahoma City. 

When you give to the RIVERSPORT Foundation, you help create pathways for people of all ages and abilities to grow, compete and thrive.

Changing Lives on the Water

RIVERSPORT Foundation is changing lives. You can see it in the youth, veterans, adaptive athletes and families we serve every day. People of all ages and all levels of ability are discovering the life-changing potential at the Oklahoma River. You don’t have to be an athlete to make it happen. Some changes are character building. Others open minds to new possibilities. And some lead to adventures never imagined.

We do it through free programming for anyone who wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to experience the challenges – and rewards – of learning a new sport, being a part of a team or trying a new outdoor adventure.

But we can’t do it alone, and we’re on a mission to raise crucial funds to allow us to continue providing free programming to these important members of our community.

Get to know them and their stories below. No donation is too small, and any amount will allow us to continue offering these life-changing experiences.
