Do all contributions go toward sponsoring this years team?
This is an important distinction… There are two primary types of contributions critical to fielding U.S. Soaring teams, direct and perpetual. Direct contributions are fully available for use by the teams while contributions to the Robertson Trust are invested, with the income from these contributions providing perpetual support but at a lower per year return when compared with direct contributions. Both direct and perpetual contributions are critical to insuring our soaring teams can participate internationally. The challenge with the Robertson is to build the trust and restore the balance between direct and perpetual funding. Contact the SSA to make direct contributions to this years U.S. Soaring Teams.
