USPA POWERLIFTING FOUNDATION

Our Mission/Vision Powerlifting has grown exponentially in recent years, expanding into more communities, cities, and states across the nation. As much as the sport gives back inspiration and motivation, each lifter contributes their own personal journey and achievement to the sport. Many lifters and competitors can resonate with grit and tenacity to overcome personal challenges. So long as there is a need and a lifter, the USPAPF is willing to help with the education, training, and sponsorship in strength sports. Our vision is to make an indelible impact in the strength community, one lifter, and one meet, at a time. We believe that powerlifting is much more than a sport. It is an opportunity to grow as a person and motivate others. The sport provides structure, goal development, and a sense of triumph and success. A tool to empower oneself, and the lives of others, powerlifting is built upon a community of strength. The USPAPF is driven to engage with community members, expand strength training education and instruction, and directly sponsor athletes though strength training events.

The USPA Powerlifting Foundation Sponsorship Program provides support for athletes who demonstrate a financial need and a commitment to the sport of powerlifting. The program can provide the following:
