As an amateur sport without Olympic recognition, the USFA receives no yearly funding. All funds are raised by the USFA and its members through donations and sponsorships. 10 players and 2 coaches for each team will travel to South America for the 2024 World Cup and Panamerican Championship. The overall cost of the trip & training is estimated at $38,000 total. Our goal is to fully subsidize this event for our athletes and coaches. The breakdown of the trip is as follows:

Travel to South America $14,000
Travel for Training Camps $10,000
Lodging $12,000
+       Uniforms & Teamwear $2,500
Total = $38,500 x 4 Teams = $154,000

​

Funds received by the USFA are also allocated towards efforts to grow the sport and support existing programs. This includes, but isn't limited to:

• Women's Fistball - Contribute to our Women’s Fistball program and support national team with equipment, apparel, travel and training costs. Additional funds will be used for player workshops and development, outreach initiatives, and supplying new women's programs with equipment

• U18/Youth Development - Contributing to our U18/Youth Development will support them with equipment, apparel, travel and training costs.

• General Fund - Help support ongoing costs of our association such as IFA membership costs, insurance, infrastructure, and other operational costs.

• Fistball Awareness/Education - Help support costs of conventions, presentations, school visits, supplies and materials. The USFA is committed to expanding its Physical Education initiatives, but needs financial support to make these goals a reality.
