We have received our Certificate of Exemption from the IRS and it can viewed by clicking HERE.  As promised, the exemption is retroactive to 2008, so all donations remitted to date and all those gifted in the future are tax deductible. 

At our last board meeting, we continued discussions about our Lost Dawg Campaign and we encourage you to spread the word to fellow Huskies and Husky Swimming supporters that we may be looking for them.  Please get your complete contact info to Jana or Rick.

We also formally adopted a mission statement and established the Foundation’s goals. They will be permanently listed on our website on our Missions & Goals page and we will also present them at the bottom of this post.  Our next schedule board meeting will be September 17th.  In the meantime, we will update you with any new information we have and will continue to work for our fellow Huskies!

Our Mission:

• The mission of the Husky Swimming Foundation is to support the reinstatement of men’s and women’s swimming at the University of Washington.  By partnering with the University, the alumni, USA Swimming, Pacific Northwest Swimming and the public, the Foundation seeks to preserve the long established swimming traditions in the Pacific Northwest.  The Foundation seeks to provide a local collegiate swimming opportunity for our regional age-group swimmers so that they may compete at both the national and the international level.

Our Goals:

1. Endow the athletes’ scholarships;
2. Build and operate a state of the art training and competition facility;
3. Provide for the operating expenses of the swimming and diving program on a sustained basis; and
4. Support swimming in the Pacific Northwest at all age group levels.
