Athlete Excellence | USOPC 2025 Impact Report
The USOPC strengthened athlete support at every level of the athlete journey in 2025, from well-being to performance.
As a mission-driven nonprofit that does not receive government funding, the 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 USOPF consolidated financial statements and Form 990s show revenue of $298 million and expenses of $307 million, resulting in a loss of $9 million in 2025, consistent with non-Olympic and Paralympic Games year performance.

Thanks to the support of NBC, our corporate partners and individual donors, the USOPC invested $178 million in athlete excellence programs in 2025. Overall spending in this area decreased compared to 2024, reflecting the absence of Games-specific investments in a non-Games year. Excluding Games-related support, athlete excellence funding increased.
programs accounted for almost 58% of all spending for the year. This included athlete stipends and funding for NGBs and Paralympic Sport Organizations that support elite athlete training through the best coaches, sports science and medicine support.
funding of $40 million represents a decrease from a Games year in 2024, while maintaining funding for programs focused on athletes’ safety, opportunity and representation across the Olympic and Paralympic community.
funding of $35 million, represents USOPC's investment in engaging its partners to support athletes and the Olympic and Paralympic Movement.
Distribution of grants of $139 million going directly to athletes and NGBs.
Of those grants, $17 million was distributed in the form of athlete stipends.
USOPC also provided $17 million in medical benefits to Elite Athlete Health Insurance and National Medical Network partners.
