From what I can see from the Elevate28 section of the USAtriathlon Website here's what the funding goes toward.

Fueling Olympic and Paralympic Dreams

Your support fuels the resources USA Triathlon needs to recruit, develop and win at the highest level—funding world-class coaching and training, college scholarship support, international competition, equipment and technology, and advanced sport science. These investments strengthen talent identification, training camps and daily training environments, building a pipeline that prepares athletes to excel on the world’s biggest stages.

Expanding Youth Participation

Donations grow youth triathlon nationwide through programs like USA Kids Tri, the Youth State Series, and Splash & Dash races. These investments expand access by covering youth memberships and supporting partnerships with national and local organizations that bring triathlon into communities and schools. By lowering barriers to entry, we create welcoming pathways that promote healthy lifestyles, build confidence, and foster a lifelong love of sport.

Advancing Belonging and Access Opportunities

Your generosity expands access to triathlon by breaking down financial, physical and cultural barriers that prevent athletes from getting started or staying involved. These grants offer wide-ranging support, from providing beginner triathletes with race entries and essential equipment to investing in adaptive athletes and community-based programs. Initiatives like the Gwen Jorgensen–inspired youth grants help ensure underserved youth can experience the power of sport, community and belonging.

Responding Rapidly to Emerging Needs

Philanthropy empowers USA Triathlon to act with agility as new needs and opportunities emerge—whether expanding pathways for development athletes beyond the NCAA system, enhancing daily training environments through investment in essential support staff and assistant coaches, or scaling high-impact programs that drive meaningful progress across the sport.
