Fundraising 2025-2026

At LOWPO, we provide opportunities for youth to develop skills, build confidence, and learn teamwork through the sport of water polo. As a non-profit organization, we rely on donations to keep costs low so all athletes can participate, regardless of financial barriers. Your support directly funds pool time, equipment, coaching, and tournament fees, making water polo accessible to all who wish to participate. Together, we can continue growing youth water polo and shaping the next generation of athletes!

Jan. Nike Community Grant

Unlock a Nike Community Impact Grant.

Are there any current or former Nike employees in our network who could advise, or even lead, an effort to apply for grants through the Nike Community Impact Fund? Applications open in January, and local organizations can apply. Both LOWPO and Oregon High School Water Polo would benefit tremendously from this type of support. If you have experience with Nike's grant process, or know someone who does, we would love your insight and guidance.
