Spirit of the Crew: Holiday Match Challenge

This holiday season, we invite you to participate in the Spirit of the Crew Holiday Match Challenge! We believe that when we pull together, we go farther than we ever could alone. Help us reach our $25K goal and unlock a generous matching gift from our donors, who are also rowers and believe in this mission just as much as you do!

A Most Beautiful Thing Inclusion Fund (AMBTIF) was founded to expand access to rowing for youth who have been historically excluded from the water. What began as a grassroots effort rooted in mentorship and teamwork has grown into a national movement creating opportunity through sport, education, leadership, and community.

Rowing is more than a sport — it’s a space to belong, to grow, and to believe. Through AMBTIF, young people develop resilience, confidence, and a deep sense that they are part of something bigger.

Now, during our Spirit of the Crew Holiday Match Challenge, every dollar you give is matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact and helping us unlock the full $25,000 match from our generous donors.

Your donation powers life-changing opportunities, such as:

Transformative rowing access and camps — giving youth from underserved communities the chance to get on the water, train and grow -- with coaching, equipment, and regatta opportunities fully supported.
Leadership development and mentorship — helping young athletes build confidence, teamwork, discipline, and life skills through structured rowing and personal growth programs.
College recruitment and academic guidance — opening pathways to higher education by helping rowers navigate school applications, placement, and scholarships.
Post-graduate and long-term support — offering ongoing mentorship, career-path guidance, and community engagement so students thrive beyond high school.

When you give, you’re not just funding a program — you’re creating access, opportunity, and belonging for young people who deserve to see themselves thriving.

This season, let’s come together in the Spirit of the Crew — where every stroke counts, every gift moves us forward, and every donation brings us closer to unlocking $25,000 in matching support.

Your gift. Matched. Impact multiplied.
