Monetary Donations
USA Racquetball depends upon public donations to continue its work. You can help! Making a donation through our secure server is fast and easy, and when we receive your donation, we will send you an acknowledgement in the mail for tax purposes.

GIVEDIRECT is the name that will appear on your credit card statement - not USA Racquetball. Using a 3rd party helps us keep our costs low and allows us to spend more time and money on our programs.
Search and Shop Online
USA Racquetball is now a charity registered with GoodSearch and GoodShop. GoodSearch is a search engine which donates 50-percent of its revenue to the charities and schools designated by its users. It's a simple and compelling concept. You use GoodSearch exactly as you would any other search engine.
Because it's powered by Yahoo!, you get proven search results. The money GoodSearch donates to your cause comes from its advertisers — the users and the organizations do not spend a dime.
In 2007, GoodSearch was expanded to include GoodShop, an online shopping mall of world-class merchants dedicated to helping fund worthy causes across the country. Each purchase made via the GoodShop mall results in a donation to the user's designated charity or school – averaging approximately 3% of the sale, but going up to 20% or even more.

By adding GoodSearch to your toolbar and internet homepage, you can help raise funds for USA Racquetball. GoodShop has over 500 retailers that donate a portion of the sales. For instance, if you usually make air travel arrangements by going through Travelocity.com you can use the GoodShop Travelocity and earn 1% of your airline ticket for USA Racquetball. It is something you normally do but USAR would now reap the rewards. Think about all the gifts you buy online for the upcoming Holidays or flowers for birthdays, there are retailers on GoodShop who donate a portion of the proceeds.

USA Racquetball depends upon public donations to continue its work. We have several donation programs available such as the Vehicle Donation program and we are members of the Combined Federal Campaign and the Independent Charities of America. For more information click the links below. The Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review, been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis that they meet the highest standards of public accountability, program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent, meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have been awarded this Seal.
