Rockland Rowing Association is grateful for the generosity of individuals, businesses, and community partners like you. Your support helps us provide safe, accessible, and inspiring rowing experiences for everyone—youth, adults, and families alike.

Individual donors play a vital role in expanding Rockland Rowing’s impact. As a not-for-profit community rowing association, we are funded through program dues and charitable donations. While program dues cover some of our essential operating costs—such as coaching salaries, insurance, equipment maintenance, and facility rentals—donations and grants enable us to purchase rowing shells, oars, docks, coaching launches, and other equipment that ensure the safe enjoyment of rowing for our entire community.
Donations to Rockland Rowing are tax deductible within the guidelines of the law. To claim your donation as a deduction, please keep your donation receipt as your official record. Our Charity ID # is 56-2353626.
