Giving Opportunities

Help Support Northwestern Crew


BCRF's mission as a support organization for rowing at Northwestern University means a donation to BCRF is a donation to Northwestern Crew. Additionally, BCRF is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit organization, so giving to BCRF results in the same tax benefits as giving to Northwestern directly.

In many situations it turns out that giving to BCRF is the preferred way to give to the crew. This is because the money avoids the bureaucratic delay of the University and is not subject to University imposed limits on what it can be put toward (funds dispersed by BCRF are overseen by the board and its officers; see note).

If you're ready to give, please take a moment to consider how you would like to make your contribution. You can choose to donate by sending a check through the mail, or you can use your credit card through the Paypal online money transfer service. If you are uncomfortable with either of these options, or wish to give a different form of gift such as stock or equipment, then one of BCRF's officers will be more than happy to work with you directly in making a donation. Instructions for all three of these options are outlined below. Thank you so much for your time, effort, and generosity in supporting this institution. We will immediately put your donation to work helping Northwestern Crew thrive both today and tomorrow.

Give By Mail


Checks are accepted through the mail year round and need no special notice before sending. Please make the check out to "Bubbly Creek Rowing Foundation" and send it to the following address:

Bubbly Creek Rowing Foundation
P.O. Box 1520

Please provide a valid return address as receipt and notice of tax exemption for your gift will be mailed to your return address as soon as possible.
