Women's Circle
The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation Women’s Circle brings together a community of donors who are passionate about equity and opportunity for Team USA women.
Team USA women embody what it means to be superhuman. On the field of play, their achievements are legendary. Off the field, their power shines through their resilience and advocacy for important causes.
Over half of Team USA athletes are women and they have achieved remarkable success in recent Olympic and Paralympic Games. For over a decade, women have been winning more summer and winter Olympic medals than their male counterparts, with 57% of the Team USA Olympic medals in Paris coming from women.
The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation Women’s Circle is a strong community of donors dedicated to the continued success of Team USA’s women athletes. Through unique events, experiences, connection and fundraising, the Women’s Circle brings together like-minded supporters to help address the unique challenges of female athletes.
Team USA Women
Being an elite female athlete comes with unique challenges, from family planning to mental health resources and beyond.
63.8% of Team USA Psychological Services appointments for mental health and sports psychology were with women athletes.
55% of participants in the USOPC’s Athlete Development & Engagement programs are women.
Just 13% of all coaches at the Paris 2024 Games were women.
By funding Team USA women athletes, we aim to support the family planning journey, grow the field of female coaches and increase research into women’s health initiatives.
USOPC Resources
The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee is dedicated to the growth and success of our women athletes. Each year, female athletes receive nearly $9 million in athlete stipends to support everything from mental health to career transitions.
In 2023, the Women’s Circle created the Team USA New Family Fund to support new parents with a one-time grant to offset the costs of postpartum care, lactation support, childcare and more. Women’s Circle members and Team USA supporters gave over $100,000 to support 34 parents and their growing families.
The Team USA New Family Fund became a beacon of hope for athletes like me. This grant is not just about dollars, it’s about weaving safety nets, creating a community and ensuring that my dreams and my baby’s coexist harmoniously … The Team USA New Family Fund transcends financial aid. It symbolizes solidarity, a collective cheer for athletes who dare to sprint with medals in one hand and pacifiers in the other.
