The Duluth Rowing Club is a non-profit 501(c)3, volunteer-operated organization that relies on community support to continue Duluth’s strong rowing tradition.
Continue the Tradition
Over the years, generous donors have made contributions to support youth programming, club operations, the purchase of new rowing shells and equipment, and the biggest project of all – the construction of the Duluth Rowing Center.
 Sources of Revenue
The DRC’s primary sources of revenue are member fees, learn to row courses, and proceeds from events like the Duluth International Regatta. Youth member fees are intentionally kept affordable to ensure that the Junior Program is accessible to all youth. Youth and adult scholarships are available, and no one is turned away for inability to pay the fee.
To meet its budget, the DRC also conducts fundraising events and has an annual giving campaign. Targeted fundraising is also done for projects, such as new programs and equipment.
Fundraising Priority: Refurbishing Existing Equipment
With most boats on the water nearly every day, May through October, there is considerable wear and tear on equipment. Many boats need new seats, slides, shoes, oar locks, and/or general repair. Experienced volunteers will do the repairs. Funding is needed for the replacement parts.
The fundraising goal is $10,000.
Gifts can be designated for other purposes as well, e.g., scholarships, coaching, or wherever needed.
The Duluth Rowing Club depends on community support to propel its growth and success. For those who have contributed in the past, we wholeheartedly thank you! Your contributions have helped the Club continue to thrive. If you have not yet become a financial supporter, we humbly ask you to consider a gift this year.
