The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves as the primary source of philanthropic support for Team USA. Founded in 2013, the USOPF generates critical financial resources that help Team USA athletes reach their full potential, both on and off the field of play. One hundred percent of gifts to the foundation go directly to athletes and the high-performance programming that supports them. Unlike most National Olympic Committees, the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee does not receive federal funding for its Olympic programs. Instead, it relies on the generosity of the American public to help U.S. athletes remain competitive with the rest of the world. Our nation stands apart from others because our Olympic and Paralympic Teams are not just cheered by an enthusiastic national fan base, but funded by one. This Team Behind the Team funds important services and initiatives that empower Team USA athletes to reach their full potential, both on and off the field of play. Team USA does more than just represent the United States on sport’s biggest stage: Our athletes inspire all Americans—and the next generation of Team USA. Through their stories of trial and triumph, U.S. athletes show our nation what is possible and exemplify what it means to pursue excellence. The USOPF is headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and led by President Christine Walshe. Supporting the USOPF and its staff is the USOPF Board of Directors and Trustees, headed by Chairman Gordon Crawford.

It all began with a dream and a simple desire – create the best bowhunting and target archery equipment possible. When Earl Hoyt Sr. started his archery company in 1931, simple draw knives and wooden billets were the tools of the trade, but through all the years and all the advancements, three things have always been synonymous with the Hoyt brand – quality craftsmanship, innovative designs and passionate employees. Since 1931, Hoyt has been an industry leader and a world-renowned brand in archery and bowhunting. The Hoyt family was responsible for innovating more new archery ideas than anyone in their era, and that trend continues today. Since the sport of archery's return to the Olympics in 1972 where Hoyt bows won both men and women’s gold and ignited Hoyt’s dominance on the Olympic stage, more medals have been won with Hoyt bows than all other bow manufacturers combined. From its humble beginning in a small workshop in St. Louis, Missouri, to today’s world-class, 150,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah, Hoyt has been the world’s premier bowmaker. Just as in the past, today every Hoyt bow features a long list of technologies and innovations. We know that serious bowhunters and archers are different and demand equipment that will allow them to perform at the highest level whether in the woods or on the tournament line. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Simply the best we know how to make. The same principles and philosophies that the Hoyt Archery Company was founded on in 1931 flow stronger than ever through the company today. Hoyt’s nearly nine decades of industry-leading products and long-term stability is a testament to the commitment, dedication and passion of its employees. And as we look to the future, we’ll remain 100% committed to building the most innovative and technically advanced equipment for the most serious archers and bowhunters across the globe. We know who you are because we are one of you. Get Serious. Get Hoyt.
