Financial Summary
As a mission-driven nonprofit that does not receive government funding, the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) is committed to fiscal responsibility and financial transparency. Our primary purpose is to support athletes through direct funds or programs that support them both on and off the field of play.
The Olympic and Paralympic Games year operating surplus allows the USOPC to run a deficit in non-Games years and provides a consistent level of support for athletes during each year of the four-year, quadrennial budget cycle. Under that cycle, both revenue and expenses, which have a direct impact on supporting Team USA athletes, generally increase in Games years versus non-Games years.
The USOPC and U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation consolidated financial statements and Form 990s show revenue of $256 million and expenses of $287 million, resulting in a loss of $31 million in 2023, consistent with non-Olympic and -Paralympic Games year performance.

Thanks to the support the USOPC receives from NBC, our corporate partners and individual donors, the USOPC invested $170 million in athlete excellence programs in 2023. Overall spend in this area was down from 2022 due to Games-specific support for the Beijing Games in 2022 versus Pan American and Parapan American Games in 2023. Athlete excellence, excluding Games-specific support, posted a 4% increase in support, primarily driven by an increase in grants to athletes and National Governing Bodies (NGBs), as well as continued investment in athlete well-being programs.
Athlete excellence programs accounted for almost 60% of all spending for the year. This included athlete stipends and funding for NGBs that support elite athlete training through the best coaches, sports science and medicine support, expenses related to the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games and training environments.
Sport advancement funding of $42 million represents an increase from 2022 due to an increased investment in the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to help support a level competitive playing field, combined with increased investments in programs focused on athletes’ safety, opportunity and representation across the Olympic and Paralympic community.
Community growth funding of $32 million in 2023 represents our investment in engaging our partners to support athletes and the Olympic and Paralympic Movement.
Highlights include:
Distribution of high-performance grants of $100 million going directly to athletes and NGBs.
Of the high-performance grants, $17 million was distributed in the form of athlete stipends to 1,509 athletes.
The USOPC provided $17 million in medical benefits to 1,468 athletes through our Elite Athlete Health Insurance and National Medical Network partners.
The USOPC, along with NGBs, continue to support the U.S. Center for SafeSport providing a combined $20 million in funding in 2023.
The USOPF brought in nearly $60M in new fundraising activity in a record-breaking fundraising year.
