Mission & Impact Statements Mission To foster, and conduct national and international amateur sports competition, and to support and develop amateur athletes for national and international competition in the sport of rowing. Background Nashville Rowing was started in 1986 by a small group of adult rowers looking to build a rowing community here in Nashville. In it's current form, Nashville Rowing began in 2013 with the addition of the Juniors programming and greatly expanded Adult programming. Nashville Rowing currently has members from Davidson, Williamson, and Sumner counties as well as middle and high school athletes from 28 schools in the greater Nashville Area. As a life cycle club, we strive to provide programming for interested athletes at all ages and stages of life! Impact Our goal is to facilitate the gaining of skills that not only allow our participants to compete at the highest level, but that can be transferrable to their lives as members of a greater community. In our 6 years of having youth rowing programs, we have had as many as 7 athletes per year earn scholarships to row in college at some of the top programs in the nation. With our young athletes attending schools across the country, it has been a great example for our new younger athletes to see the doors that rowing may help open for them! We have athletes at both the youth and adult levels competing and performing and succeeding at the regional, national and international levels, but most importantly we have established ourselves as a life-cycle program, where programs feed each other from Middle School Development all the way up to Adult Competitive programs. Needs Most pertinent needs:facilities (accessible training space for youth and adult programs)capital Equipment ($40,000 for new 8 person rowing shell)diesel Pickup Truck with towing capability Midweight and Heavyweight single shells ($7,000-$10,000) Other ways to donate, support, or volunteer We accept donations via check, cash, or stock transfer and can send Quickbooks invoices if you prefer. We also have volunteer opportunities for events throughout the year such as the Music City Head Race in October.

Nashville Rowing serves athletes from the greater Nashville area including athletes from 32 schools and counting, and the homeschool community. CEO Statement Nashville Rowing is growing community of passionate athletes and coaches, both seasoned and new to the sport of rowing. As our mission statement says, one of our goals is to help develop amateur athletes for both national and international competition, but we are also looking to expand opportunities in rowing here in Nashville and the Southeast. That means the platform and programming for the all parts of our greater Nashville community to experience the array of opportunities that rowing can offer. Whether it is life long fitness, college scholarships, or simply the chance to be part of a bigger team and family, Nashville Rowing hopes to continue growing and providing those experiences to more and more people! 3

Programs Programs Juniors Program Description The Juniors Program ecompasses seasonal opportunities for athletes from 5th grade to 12th grade. Fall, Winter, and Spring each offer Development and Competitive levels to best serve the level in both skill level and ability to commit timewise. These seasons include up to 6 days a week of coached practice, as well as travel to regattas both locally and around the country. The Summer season consists of multiple week long camps for new athletes and current rowers to build on the fundamentals and hone their skills while staying fit and getting out on the lake! Budget 250000 Category Recreation & Sports, General/Other Athletics & Sports Population Served Adolescents Only (13-19 years),, Short Term Success Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Growing accessibility to a wider range of Nashville's youth to provide an opportunity to row, and take part in the growth of rowing regionally. With the foundation of skills that are transferable to life outside rowing, more young athletes will have opportunities opened at both the high school and college levels. Long term success for the Juniors Program would include program participant growth at all levels, ultimately including programs for inner city and at risk youth as well as adaptive rowing. This would require a boathouse facility that can support and promote these programs while increasing the accessibility and visibility. In having these programs we will also continue facilitating scholarship opportunities for athletes both at the high school and college levels. We will continue to have athletes receiving Division 1 scholarships to continue rowing in college at some of the country's top institutions. Program success is monitored participation growth, and success at the regional and national levels. Success is also monitored more long term by scholarships earned by graduating seniors. Examples of Program Success Over 60% of our graduating senior class earned scholarships to Division 1 college programs, which is higher than the national average. In 2016 we qualified 3 boats to compete at Youth Nationals, which was 3 times as many boats as the previous year. Additionally in 2015-16 we had 5 athletes invited to represent the United States at various levels of the Junior National Team, with one earning a medal at World Championships. 4

Adult Program Description The Adult Program provides a place for a wide range of adult athletes interested in life long fitness and the opportunity to be a part of a larger community. Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer each offer programs for a variety of skill levels from Learn to Row, Novice, Development and Competitive. Athletes have the opportunity work with other other rowers that are at their same skill level, and progress through the programs to eventually compete at the local, regional and national level representing the city of Nashville. Budget 50000 Category Population Served Short Term Success Long term Success Program Success Monitored By Recreation & Sports, General/Other Physical Fitness Adults, Families, In 2016, Adult programming has grown in number of participants as well as the hiring of a dedicated adult programs coach. The Competitive program was also able to take more athletes to the Head of the Charles Regatta, the largest international regatta in the world, than it has in it's previous years of existence. Program success includes continued program growth with increased adult membership reflecting our mission of being a life cycle club. Parents of our juniors program are encouraged to join the adult programming and engage in a shared experience with their kids. As our junior program alumni graduate and return from college they are also encouraged to take part in the adult programming of the club. Program success is monitored by participant growth and increased club membership. At the Competitive level, success is measured by the program's ability to perform at the regional level, and ultimately to be come a nationally recognized program. CEO Comments Programming is the core of what Nashville Rowing is all about. Rowing is the quintessential team sport, and our coaches and athletes are what make that experience so impactful. Growing our programming to include at risk youth, adaptive athletes, veterans and so much more, is the goal we are pushing towards together. 5
