Recreational Clubs Development Fund (RECSPO)
The Department of Recreation has established a tax-deductible Development Fund to provide Clubs the opportunity to seek additional funding support other than that provided from their Rec Clubs Annual Budget allocation. In addition to helping many clubs attend regional and national competitions, this fund has also supported clubs for expenses such as:
- league dues and entry fees
- out of state travel
- purchase of equipment and facility rental (for clubs who cannot be provided space at the IMA)
When donating via the link above, please make sure to indicate which club you would like to donate to in the “Comments/Special Instructions” section

Peterson-Pearsall Rec Clubs Endowed Fund
The Peterson-Pearsall Rec Clubs Endowed Fund is a general club program endowment which may provide funding for re-emerging or expanding clubs, or emerging clubs that are part of, but not yet funded by, the UW program. This endowment houses a general fund to which others may contribute for both current and future clubs within University of Washington Recreation.
