This Boat Floats!
(but we could sure use your help in giving us a head start on spring)

Donations are 100% tax deductible. Donations sent directly to ETHS will not automatically generate a donation receipt, but one can be requested via the ETHS Business Office
Why do we fundraise?
ETHS Rowing is the only equity-based, dues-free scholastic rowing program in the midwest and needs to raise over $100,000 per year for equipment and travel costs.
We are thankful that ETHS provides funding for coach stipends and transportation to practices, however it takes a lot more to get our kids on the water.

Workplace Matching Donation Programs
Many workplaces offer charitable donations matching, which will have the impact of doubling your contribution to the team. Determine if your company offers this program before making your contribution because your donation will almost certainly have to be made to the ETHS Foundation 501c3 rather than by check or credit card to the school.
What's the best donation method for me?
Credit card and checks donations are both credited within days to the team.
​
501c3 donations are routed through the ETHS Foundation. These funds take some time to reach the team but this is the best option for those donating from a donor advised fund, whose contributions are eligible for corporate grant matching, or for any other 501c3-required reasons.
