Spring 2026 Fundraiser
Start: April 4 Goal: $75,000
Donations are 100% tax deductible. Donations sent directly to ETHS will not automatically generate a donation receipt, but one can be requested via the ETHS Business Office
Why do we fundraise?
ETHS Rowing is the only equity-based, dues-free scholastic rowing program in the midwest and needs to raise over $150,000 per year for equipment and travel costs.
We are thankful that ETHS provides funding for coach stipends and transportation to practices, however it takes a lot more to get our kids on the water.

Workplace Matching Donation Programs
Many workplaces offer charitable donations matching, which will have the impact of doubling your contribution to the team. Determine if your company offers this program before making your contribution because your donation will have to be made to the ETHS Foundation rather than by check or credit card to the school.
What's the best donation method for me?
All methods are 100% tax deductible.
Credit card and checks donations are both credited within days to the team.
​
If donating using a donor advised fund or an employer matching program please give through the ETHS Foundation (TAX ID 30-0395044). Make sure to indicate that the donation is for the ETHS Rowing Team.
