Building the Future of Kumeyaay Trails Wrestling Club

Why an Endowment?

Our goal is simple: no child should miss the opportunity to wrestle because of financial hardship.

The Kumeyaay Trails Wrestling Club Endowment Fund is designed to provide long-term stability, ensuring that scholarships, equipment, and program support are available not just this season — but for generations of wrestlers to come.

Unlike annual fundraising, endowment gifts are invested for the future. Each year, a portion of the earnings helps fund the program, while the principal remains intact.

This creates something rare and powerful in youth sports: sustainability.

What the Endowment Supports

Endowment earnings help fund:

  • Need-based athlete scholarships

  • Program continuity during lean years

  • Equipment replacement and upgrades

  • Facility and mat access security

  • Long-term growth of youth wrestling in our community

Every contribution strengthens the foundation of the club.

How the Endowment Works

  • Endowment gifts are invested long-term

  • Only a small portion of earnings is used each year

  • The original gift stays intact

  • Impact continues year after year

Your gift doesn’t just help one wrestler — it helps every future wrestler who comes through our doors.
