The NCBC 1912 Fund
²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Boat Club has always relied on the generosity of Old Members and other supporters. Funding for the club is reaching a critical stage, where we may soon be forced to turn people away from the club. To support our growing numbers, improve our training program, raise coaching standards, and far more, we know we need to obtain long-term financial security for NCBC.
With this aim in mind, we are looking to raise the Boat Club’s own endowment, The ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Boat Club 1912 Fund, with an initial target of £500,000.
This initial target will provide an annual income of ~£15,000, closing our deficit and will allow the continuation of NCBC, its heritage, values, and people, as well as allowing us to:
- retain high-quality coaching talent
- maintain and invest in first-class equipment
- meet our day-today expenditure
- ensure the longevity of the club
- alleviate the financial burden placed on students through kit and event subsidy
