CBRC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Our programs are supported primarily by volunteers with the exception of our professional coaching staff. Donations are gratefully accepted at any time. We also host a variety of charitable giving events throughout the year.

Donations to CBRC support all of our programs or can be targeted at specific needs. Our goal in fundraising is to apply 100% of donations to equipment needs. From racing shells, oars, and cox boxes, to coaching launches and spare parts, equipment needs for a vibrant rowing club such as ours are a constant challenge. To our donors, we commit that gifts to CBRC directly support our rowing programs and are used for no other purpose.

Two of our specific charitable giving opportunities bear specific mention:

• Scholarships. At CBRC we are deeply committed to providing a rowing experience to all youth without regard to ability to pay. Scholarship applications are confidentially accepted and welcomed on a need basis.
  

• Boat Naming. Substantial contributions toward boat purchases are a visible and rewarding support opportunity. A new eight-person shell can cost as much as $35 thousand dollars. For donors having the ability to substantially contribute to such purchases, lasting recognition is available through naming opportunities.
