Team USA Athletes to Receive $200K Post-Retirement Benefits from Historic $100M Donation

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee announces a transformative program funded by Ross Stevens to support athletes' financial security after their careers.

Ross Stevens, CEO of Stone Ridge Holdings Group, donated $100 million to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Foundation, marking the largest gift in its history.
Eligible Team USA athletes will receive $200,000 for each Olympic or Paralympic Games they compete in, distributed as $100,000 over four years post-retirement and $100,000 to their beneficiaries upon death.
The program aims to address financial insecurity among athletes, many of whom face limited income opportunities during and after their sports careers.
Only athletes earning less than $1 million annually will qualify for the program, ensuring funds are directed to those in need.
The donation guarantees funding through at least 2032, with the potential for further expansion, providing a financial safety net for future generations of U.S. Olympians and Paralympians.
