UNLIKE OTHER COMPETING NATIONS, U.S. OLYMPIC SPORTS DO NOT RECIEVE GOVERNMENT FUNDING. THE USA AMATEUR WEIGHTLIFTING FOUNDATION DIRECTLY SUPPORTS THE NATIONAL GOVERNING BODY FOR USA WEIGHTLIFTING.
OUR MISSION
By directly supporting the national governing body for USA Weightlifting, the U.S. Amateur Weightlifting Foundation builds the strength community at every level up to the Olympic Team, and expands access and education for the sport, all for the benefit of personal and societal transformation.
OUR VISION
To expand weightlifting access and education to all by offering a platform for personal strength and transformation. Through nurturing use of the barbell at all levels and making weightlifting everyone’s sport, we will build a stronger society.
