NRF 2015 Annual Report
A Review of 2014

2. To Our Supporters
2014 was a great year for the NRF. To start things off, 1968 Olympian
Charlie Hamlin joined us as the Executive Director, bringing with him his
strong rowing bio as well as his incredible energy and enthusiasm.
In June, we added a strong group to the National Rowing Hall of Fame,
continuing our support of the legends that inspire the next generation
to do even more. Sadly we also closed down the Hall of Fame museum
exhibit at Mystic Seaport after an 8 year run, but Bill Miller, Tom Weil,
Tom Sanford, and other dedicated volunteers have carefully placed all
the artifacts in storage and we look forward to opening a new exhibit
soon!
The team performed well in Amsterdam and is well positioned for Rio
(more on this from Curtis) and they wouldn't have been able to this
without your generosity. We gave $1.1 million to USRowing this year,
the largest grant in the history of the NRF and first over $1 million.
That's up 50% and 280% respectively from the average annual grants
in the London and Beijing quadrennials. The team needs these funds to
compete and we will need to continue to find more support to close the
funding and performance gaps with other nations.
We are so excited to part of this great team and we look forward to
cheering alongside you in the years to come.
Go USA!

Increasing total sources of funds
by $197,000 to $1,798,000
Increasing Grant eligible funds by
$200,000 to $1,244, 000
Processing $312,000 of Pass-Through
funds for the support primarily of the
U23 team
Increasing our Grant to USRowing for
the seven high priority, Olympic class
boats by $135,000 to $1,090,000.
Experiencing the growth of our
endowments after distributions
by $32,000 to $5,636,000
Achieving a ratio of marketing and
administrative costs to funds raised
of 19.7%
Our singular disappointment was falling short of achieving our Grant
goal of $1,200,000. As the year drew to a close, several major year-
end donations failed to materialize.2014 was a year of new initiatives.
We implemented a strategy dubbed the Regatta Grant Project (“RGP”)
wherein we succeeded in getting sixteen major regattas to embrace the
concept of increasing their entry fees by $1.00/seat and donating the
resulting funds to the NRF. The RGP raised $60,000 in new funds.
We partnered with the US Lightweight Rowing Association (USLRA)
to raise funds for the high priority lightweight Olympic boats: the LM4,
the LW2x and the LM2x which earned the right to be a priority boat
with a top four finish at the second World Cup Regatta. Total raised was
$85,000, $72,500 in new funds.
As we look to 2015, the penultimate preparation year and the 2016
Olympics that are less than 17 months away, we plan to build on the
successes of 2014 and raise our Grant to the Senior Team to
$1,100,000 and to the Junior Team, $100,000. With your continuing
support we can meet these goals and even better, exceed them.
Remember, the U.S. is the only major rowing country that provides no
government support to its Olympic team.With your generosity in 2015
we can overcome this resource challenge and see our athletes on the
medal stand in 2016.
Thanks again and all the best,
Charlie, Mara, Tom and Gill
To all NRF Donors:
On behalf of the NRF staff and more
importantly the athletes of our 2014
national teams, I thank you for you generosity,
good will, and support of the National Rowing
Foundation. I am pleased to report that 2014 was a
successful year. The NRF saw substantial growth in our fund
raising efforts, in our support of the Senior, U23 and Junior teams,
and in the growth of our endowments. Highlights include:
NRF Executive Director
Charlie Hamlin

USRowing is fortunate to have a diverse and vibrant family of partners
contributing to our athletes’ success. The NRF stands second only to the
USOC as our largest partner, funding the coaching, equipment, travel
and training expenses of our athletes.
USRowing athletes face the challenge of competing against countries
whose programs receive two to four times the financial support as ours.
True to the American way, this proves no hindrance to our athletes,
who arrive at the starting line knowing that donors like you helped
create that opportunity. The NRF community provides opportunities for
excellence and the platform to continue our tradition of winning.
Our teams cannot achieve their potential without you. From every athlete,
coach and team member at USRowing, we thank the National Rowing
Foundation for rowing up to that starting line with us. Our medals,
dreams and goals are the same. Thank you for being part of our team.
Go USA!
Erin & Glenn
Erin O’Connell, President
and Glenn Merry, CEO
In the history of the Olympic movement, the
National Rowing Foundation has never played
as critical a role in the success of USRowing’s athletes
and programs as it does today. Internationally, the U.S.
stands alone as the only Olympic team funded solely through
corporate and private partners, without government funding.

In 2013 we corralled the country’s best
athletes and hired a new coaching staff;
In 2014 we developed our athletes and
proved in Amsterdam the success of our
staff and strategies;
In 2015 we are honing the skills, physicality
and racing acumen of our athletes;
In 2016 our athletes will enter the Olympics
fully capable to win against the best in
the world.
We started the Rio quadrennial with a focused, four
year strategy to maximize the success of our athletes and
our medal count at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro:
High Performance
Director USRowing
Curtis Jordan
The first two years were very successful and we are now well into our
third. In 2014, 9 boats made the A finals and 5 medaled, an outstanding
performance. Our athletes show every indication that our team will do
even better at the 2015 Worlds in France. We are on track for Rio.
The team and I extend our thanks to the NRF for its major role in making
our strategies and system a success.
First, the NRF has made it possible hire and retain the best coaches;
sending a clear message to our athletes that we will provide them with
the best possible coaching talent.
Second, with the additional funds received, we have been able to give
our top athletes more competition and development opportunities than
in the past. Our goal is to provide our athletes with the same assets and
experience as their competitors.
Third, we now have the funds to provide better and more consistent
access to physical therapy and medical care to our athletes. This keeps
them healthy and in the game longer.
We are now at a point in our preparation that every dollar has a
significant impact on the athletes’ potential and the success of the
system in which they work. We look to our continuing partnership with
the NRF and its support to ensure that our athletes may realize their
dreams and ours of gold in Rio.
Thank you for supporting our U.S. National Teams.
Best,
Curtis

Let me start by saying thank
you. If you’re getting a copy of this
Annual Report, that means at some point
this year, I was able to do what I do because
you supported the National Rowing Foundation.
Starting out on the Team as a young athlete is about
survival and doing whatever it takes to make it; staying on the
Team for more than a season or two takes calculated and long-
term planning and investment in your goals and performance.
The same is true for the financial support of our National Teams. As a
veteran athlete on the Team, I recognize the importance of training and
planning for performance not just harder, but also smarter. By supporting
Athletes of the Year
Grant James
Thank you to the NRF for all your support. All the help you do for
us is amazing. We could not be competitive without you. Thanks to
each and every one, from the donors to those who make the NRF run
smoothly.
At the international level every detail becomes very important especially
as we point for the Olympics in Rio. All of our competitors are big and
fast so the support the NRF provides in funding our training, enabling
biomechanics assessment, great coaching, trainers and more count for
speed on the water.
The NRF’s support builds confidence knowing our team can travel to
international competitions and have the proper equipment when we
get there. Dedication and generosity cannot even begin to describe
the NRF but it is these things that have made the difference in winning
America medals.
Grant James,

Bronze Medalist in the Men’s Four
Athletes of the Year
Megan Kalmoe
the NRF, you have allowed us to make calculated investments in our athletes
that will allow us to compete with the top rowing nations in the world. We
are able to travel, race and train with the very best coaches, equipment and
resources, but only through the help of the NRF.
I am in my ninth season training with the US National Team, and with
each passing year I have become more aware of how crucial it is for our
Team to have the support of the NRF, and of donors like you. We have an
unbelievably talented group of young women that have come in to the
Training Center in the past two years, and who will be taking over the Team
when it’s time for veterans like myself to move on from National Team
competition. With your continued support and investments in their success,
we can help them to continue to redefine what it means to be a part of the
best women’s rowing team in the world in 2015, 2016 and beyond.

Supporting the
NRF and our National
Teams
At the age of twenty, having coxed at Penn
for less than two years, I was selected to my
first National Team, steering the lightweight eight at
the World Championships in Amsterdam in 1977. It was a
magical summer, one of the best of my life, and I remember clearly
the thrill of being selected, the pride of wearing the USA colors, and the
Why I give
John Chatzky
excitement of competing against the best athletes in the world. Our boat
rowed poorly and raced even worse, but despite our bad performance the
experience was the best I’d had in my life up until that point.
In recent years I have learned, however, that the pride, the joy, and the
excitement of racing as a young man is nowhere near as rewarding as
supporting today’s athletes, both the men and the women. They train
year round, putting careers and family on hold in pursuit of their quest.
They torture themselves in their daily workouts then come back with
a smile for more each and every day. They are the closest of friends
on and off the water, yet understand that there are a limited number
of seats and not enough for all of them to share. They are committed,
determined, cheerful, articulate and the best that our nation has to
offer. I support them as much as I can with my time, with my experience
and with my money. Wearing the colors in competition almost forty
years ago was thrilling but not even close to watching four of our finest
athletes win a gold medal at a recent World Championships, rowing in
a racing shell that carried my name. I will continue to support both the
NRF and our athletes for as long as I can.

“I have been involved with the National team since 1984,
first as an athlete and then as a team physician and NRF
Director. Like many, rowing has impacted my life in countless
ways and John and I feel strongly that it is critical to give back to the
sport that helped shape us. Support of our national team athletes
permits them to train and compete at the highest level with focus, great
coaching and racing opportunities. We challenge any athlete who has
been positively impacted by our sport to make a donation in support of
our incredibly committed and gifted athletes.”

Why do I give to the NRF?
Rowing changed my life. Of course I
became an athlete, but I also developed as
a person, acquiring a deeper understanding of
the power of dreaming and the effort and perseverance
required to realize something seemingly impossible. As
much as I love rowing, that’s not why I give to the NRF. Training
to compete at the highest echelons of sport is hard enough.Uniquely,
American athletes do not receive financial support from our
government, leaving funding to private individuals and the athletes
themselves. Training requires prodigious dedication, time, and energy.
Access to this opportunity should be determined by boat-moving ability,
not financial capacity.
Competing at the Olympic Games is an extraordinary experience for
every athlete lucky enough to do so, but viewing the Games is an
inspiring experience for the rest of us. Offering a vision of humanity we
cannot afford to lose, this worldwide community event brings together
people from all over the world and shows what’s possible when they
bring their best. Our world needs the Olympic Games. When I invest in
American rowers, I contribute to that vital movement which unites us
in our admiration of greatness, showcases our common humanity, and
demonstrates the power to dream within all of us that can transform
the world.

In 1956 the Yale varsity eight won the Olympic Trials in
early July and then (unbelievable, now), broke up and went
home for summer vacation, as there were no funds to cover the
cost of maintaining our fitness until the November Olympics in Australia.
Resuming training in mid-August, our loss in the first heat of the
Olympics was our first race in five months. Any surprise we lost? Too
bad that there wasn’t an NRF then, we could have used its help.
My mates and I have long been supporters of the NRF because we have
wanted to ensure that our national teams would be fully prepared to
represent the U.S. We are pleased to know that NRF funds go directly
to our most deserving athletes to make sure that they are fit and
prepared to represent the best the U.S. has in international competition.

Both of us feel that rowing provided us with the
experiences that, outside of family, defined our young
adulthood. Some of our fondest and happiest memories, as well
as our toughest defeats, are associated with the sport. The camaraderie
of training on a university squad, the gradual acquisition of technique, the
pressure of race day and, ultimately, the privilege of representing the USA
in international competition have enriched our lives beyond measure.
We fully believe in the mission of the NRF. Support of the US National
Rowing team and providing financing for today’s athletes to have
similar experiences to our own, and excel even further, is a critical role.
We know Curtis Jordan and many of the coaches personally, and are
excited about the talent and experience that they bring to the National
Squad. It is obvious to us how dedicated, talented and extremely hard-
working today’s athletes are, and we feel it is a privilege to support their
efforts. Simply put, without the NRF, there would be drastically reduced
opportunities for these exceptional athletes to accomplish what they
have in international competition.

2014 NRF Donor List continued...
The United States Lightweight
Rowing Association
The United States Lightweight Rowing Association
(USLRA) was founded in 2012 shortly after the London
Olympics. A small group of young and recent National Team and
Olympic lightweight rowers came together around two basic goals
- to develop a network of current and former lightweight rowers and
to raise money to support the lightweight rowers training for the 2016
Olympics and beyond.
In 2014, the NRF and the USLRA created a partnership to focus on
these goals together. We are now working together to energize the
lightweight community and to build dedicated support for the Olympic
lightweight movement. The NRF and USRowing have delivered a
financial model of fair and equitable treatment for all of the priority
events, including the lightweights, and the lightweight community is
rallying behind their leadership. The excitement is palpable and the
progress has been material, with first time donors coming forward to
help our national teams, some in significant amounts.
The USLRA is looking forward to extending this partnership with the
NRF into 2015 and eventually 2016, with the shared goal of putting
our lightweight Olympic boats into contention to win medals in Rio
and beyond!
Sincerely,
The Board of the USLRA
