The NIRSA Foundation, through fundraising and stewardship efforts, works in cooperation with NIRSA to enhance the effectiveness of collegiate recreational sports by providing its members with meaningful opportunities for scholarship, research, and personal and professional development.

In 1992, NIRSA members established the NIRSA Foundation as a grassroots initiative to give back to the association that had provided them with so much. The NIRSA Foundation Board of Directors serves as a strategic governing body, actively fundraising and ensuring that funds are allocated in alignment with donor intentions and the Foundation’s mission. We aim to balance fundraising efforts with philanthropy, celebrating our NIRSA family, highlighting the achievements of NIRSA members, and fostering a culture of financial commitment to the future of our profession.

The Foundation Board’s primary responsibility is to develop financial resources through donations from both individual and corporate NIRSA members. We are dedicated to cultivating a culture of philanthropy by engaging members at every stage of their lives.
