Our Mission
The mission of the National Nordic Foundation (NNF) is to provide support for the athlete development pipeline of US Cross Country and Nordic Combined skiing. The NNF accomplishes this development goal through raising funds and distribution to our “Pillar Projects” that serve the next generation of athletes who represent the United States on the World Stage.
Why NNF?
At the National Nordic Foundation, we know that cross country skiing is the world’s toughest sport, that cross country skiers are the world’s toughest athletes. That toughness, combined with the courage it takes to ski jump, flying off the side of a mountain at 60 miles per hour like our Nordic combined skiers, inspires young people at a time when toughness and courage need advocates. Your money helps fund that inspiration and courage. An NNF donation breathes life into the epic journey of elite cross country and Nordic combined skiing: these skiers go out, face challenges, succeed and return to their communities to inspire.
What We Fund
The NNF funds “Pillar Projects”, which are training and competition trips the US Ski Team and Elite Development coaches determine are the key development steps towards World Cup, World Championship, and Olympic success.

Drive for 25
Together we raised over $220,000 to support our developing athletes. Thank you!
Our fundraising goal for the year as a whole is still $250,000 for both Cross-Country and Nordic Combined. We met our Drive for 25 goals for XC and came up short for Nordic Combined. D25 was not our yearly fundraising goal. We have raised $156,000 of $250,000 for XC and $64,000 of $250,000 for Nordic Combined. Our athletes are improving and we are helping to provide more opportunities to succeed. Please consider the NNF in your year end giving and in the year to come.
