About XV Foundation

Our Focus

Increase Funding

The USA Women’s XVs program has been competing since 1987 and were the winners of the inaugural Women's Rugby World Cup. 


However, the USA Women's XVs program is the only program without secondary funding. This means, when USA rugby is experiencing financial hardship, so is the Women’s XVs program. The current budget leaves the players responsible for travel to/from camps and tours, housing during camps and tours, multiple  camp fees, and loss of wages, etc. 

Complete Transparency

We will be honest with our financial situation and what we hope to achieve through this foundation. 

Create a Professional Environment

While women’s rugby around the World is professionalizing, the USA women remain largely pay - to - play and it becomes extremely challenging to remain competitive, although we all have the talent to do so.   

Establish Sustainable Revenue

To remain competitive, we must raise $200,000 for the Women’s XVs program as they prepare for the Rugby World Cup (through donations, grants, sponsorships, and partnerships). We are aligned with USA Rugby in this mission, and will work directly with them to ensure that all money raised through the foundation goes directly to the needs listed below.    

Provide Coverage for Players

Donations will be used to offset costs for players which includes:

  • Travel
  • Camp Fees
  • Operating Costs
  • Housing
  • Meals
  • Event Expenses
  • Stipends to supplement lost wages
