Figure skating is among the most expensive sports to pursue, and the financial pressure on families and skating programs is often extreme.
You can help by making a gift to the Capitol Skating Fund (CSF). The gift may be Unrestricted (available to support any of the programs and/or skaters that are recipients of CSF Grants), or you may designate a gift for a particular skater or program, recognizing that the final decision regarding allotment of resources remains with the Capitol Skating Fund.
The Capitol Skating Fund is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Your gift is tax deductible in the United States to the full extent of the law. The Capitol Skating Fund is managed entirely by volunteers and 100% of your gifts go to deserving programs and skaters.
The Board of Directors has formed a Designated Grants Committee (DGC) that will review the application of any skater or program that has been named as the recommended designated recipient of a gift to the Capitol Skating Fund (CSF). After this review the DGC will recommend to the Board that the skater or program be declared eligible to receive support from a Designated Grant.
Any individual or group that has received support from a designated donation is welcome to subsequently apply to the CSF for an unrestricted grant.
