Funding Needs
Athletes Without Limits recruits and manages TEAM USA for the International Paralympic Committee-sanctioned INAS Global Games World Champsionships for para athletes with intellectual disability. We currently seek funding to support the team as our athletes (unlike other national team athletes) must pay travel and registration fees out-of-pocket. Total cost for the US Team to participate is currently at $35,000-$50,000, which is currently paid for personally by the coaches, athletes and parents.
