Spid Werkz Foundation exists to support U.S.-based Olympic and Paralympic hopefuls competing in traditionally underfunded sports — summer or winter — who are training and racing at the highest levels of competition. If you are legitimately chasing the Games, we see you.
The reality is simple: even the best athletes often face a funding gap. National governing bodies, clubs, and families provide support — but there is almost always a difference between what exists and what it truly takes to perform at an Olympic or Paralympic level. Spid Werkz was created to fill that gap.
We provide ongoing, personalized annual support based on each athlete’s competitive budget and performance plan. That support may include financial assistance, logistical strategy, mentorship, and the kind of hands-on backing that helps you train smarter, compete harder, and sustain momentum over time.
But here’s the important part: Spid Werkz is not just a check. We are a community. Engagement matters. A lot. The athletes who thrive with Spid Werkz are the ones who lean in — who communicate, who collaborate, who share their journey, and who actively contribute to the community we’re building. The more you put into this partnership, the more you will get out of it.
We expect our athletes to be ambassadors of Spid Werkz — on social media, in competition, and in their communities. We want you to share the vibes. Celebrate the wins. Talk about the grind. Show the human side of elite sport. Inspire the next wave.
We look for athletes who are:
Fierce competitors in the arena
High-character teammates off the field
Sportsmanlike, grounded, and resilient
Totally serious about performance — but still fun, positive, and real
We support athletes from the early stages of their Olympic pursuit, through qualification and competition, and into the transition beyond sport. Because success isn’t just about making a team — it’s about building leaders who carry their discipline, perspective, and integrity into life after competition.
If you are a U.S.-based Olympic or Paralympic hopeful in an Olympic sport, training at the highest level, and ready to fully engage in a meaningful partnership…Apply. Let’s build something bigger than podiums.
