Founded in 1894 and headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee serves as both the National Olympic Committee and National Paralympic Committee for the United States. The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee is focused on protecting, supporting and empowering America’s athletes, and is responsible for fielding U.S. teams for the Olympic, Paralympic, Youth Olympic, Pan American and Parapan American Games, and serving as the steward of the Olympic and Paralympic movements in the U.S.
A federally chartered nonprofit corporation, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee does not receive federal financial support (other than for select Paralympic military veteran programs) and is one of the only NOCs in the world that also manages Paralympic activities.
Approximately 82% of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee's budget has a direct impact on its mission of supporting athletes via a variety of programs for both athletes and their National Governing Bodies. In addition to performance grants and rewards, additional support is provided in the form of training facilities, sports medicine and science, coaching education, health insurance, promotional opportunities, education and career services, outfitting and travel, and safe sport and anti-doping programming.
"WE EMPOWER TEAM USA ATHLETES TO ACHIEVE SUSTAINED COMPETITIVE EXCELLENCE AND WELL-BEING. "
-Mission Statement
Support Elite Athletes Holistically: Empowering athletes to be their best requires a comprehensive view of health – going beyond the athletic achievement we all celebrate to also recognize and support critical areas like mental health, education, financial well-being, legal rights and personal expression that play a vital role in athlete excellence.
Strengthen our Movement: We're building a stronger future across the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Movement by promoting a culture of safety, fairness, operational excellence and diversity, equity and inclusion.
Have the Greatest Possible Impact: By growing the Olympic and Paralympic movements and engaging and rallying fans, donors and partners around Team USA athletes' inspiring feats and stories, we are uniquely positioned to help build a better, more inclusive world through sport – a standard we're committed to advancing every day.

You can give Team USA athletes the power to dream by donating to the Team USA Fund, where 100% of your gift goes toward athletes and the tools they need to succeed. Give now.
