FUELING THE FUTURE OF TEAM USA

The Next Lap Foundation provides direct financial support to Olympic and Paralympic athletes, allowing them to focus on excellence, not expenses.

OUR STORY THE HISTORY

THE NEXT LAP FOUNDATION

For many athletes, the pursuit of greatness comes with a heavy financial burden. Training costs, medical bills, travel, and equipment often far outweigh what they earn.

We’re here to change that.

The Next Lap Foundation helps close the financial gap by offering annual, no-strings-attached grants to Olympic and Paralympic athletes. Because the people who represent our nation deserve to be supported every step of the way, in competition and beyond.
