About Dr. Glenn Anderson Diversity and Equity Fund

This fund promotes diversity by awarding funds to male and female athletes of color who have been traditionally underrepresented in Deaf Sports. Removing some of the financial burdens associated with participation in US National Team trainings, tryouts, and national and international competitions, the Dr. Glenn Anderson Diversity and Equity Fund plays a vital role in increasing sports participation for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) athletes.

USA Deaf Sports Federation is the official governing body of the United States’ representation in the Deaflympic Games. For over 70 years, USADSF has produced national champions, international record-breakers and hundreds of Deaflympic medalists.

Funding our athletes and the cost of competition is our greatest barrier to winning Gold. The burden of fundraising has had to be shouldered by our deaf and hard of hearing athletes and coaches, and oftentimes athletes pay out of pocket upwards of $3,500 to compete.

Help us develop the next generation of deaf and hard of hearing BIPOC athletes. Please consider a donation or sponsorship to help our BIPOC athletes represent the United States of America at the highest level.
