About

Your Impact Today

We are seeking $7,500 to fund coaching for our Spring 2025 season. The University of Michigan Sailing Team is grateful to have a full-time coaching staff, but we need your help to sustain this highly beneficial resource!

What does coaching provide?

Intentional, efficient practices
A new level of sailing expertise for our athletes
Longitudinal, individualized feedback and attention
Support and coaching at travel regattas
Long-term efforts to foster a culture of success
Wider-reaching and more compelling recruiting efforts

The Impact of Our Donors

Without the support of our donors, it would not be possible to sustain our thriving community of sailors. Today, your gift supports coaching, but otherwise the generosity of our donors also enables us to do the following:

Cover our operating expenses. These include travel, lodging, equipment, regatta entry fees, and practice facilities.
Maintain and replace our fleet. Your support lets us buy new boats when ours reach the end of their lifetimes.
Reduce the cost of participation. The operating costs of the team are far too expensive to be covered by team member dues alone.
