Nwana Instructor Growth Fund
About this race
Fund Instructors. Grow Nordic Walking.
The NORDIC WALKING ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA (NWANA) Instructor Growth Fund helps build the people-powered foundation for Nordic Walking in North America.
Nordic Walking is a sport, a fitness method, a community activity, and a powerful tool for health, balance, mobility, active aging, fall prevention, and rehabilitation support. To grow it the right way, communities need trained instructors, local leaders, clubs, teams, and organizations that can teach safe technique and bring people together.
This fund turns donations, fundraising, team fundraising, sponsorship, and eligible employer matching gifts into NWANA Academy Beginner Instructor Course Credits.
Every $300 raised can create one course credit. Fundraisers can use earned credits to take the instructor course themselves, train a leader for their team, support a local club, help a workplace wellness group, or donate a credit to someone from the Instructor Candidate Waitlist.
Teams can raise funds to train their own leaders. Companies can support corporate Nordic Walking clubs. Sponsors can help create instructors for schools, universities, senior centers, rehabilitation programs, hospitals, walking groups, and community organizations.
Your employer may double your impact. Many companies match charitable gifts made by their employees. If your employer offers a matching gift program, your donation may help create additional NWANA Academy course credits and train more Nordic Walking instructors.
Your donation helps create more instructors, more local groups, more opportunities to move, and a stronger foundation for the future of competitive Nordic Walking in North America.
Course credits are earned and assigned under the NWANA Fundraising Course Credit Policy, available in the website menu.

NWANA Instructor Growth Fund
Support the NWANA Instructor Growth Fund and help create the next generation of Nordic Walking instructors. This year-round fund turns donations and fundraising into NWANA Academy Beginner Instructor Course Credits. Every $300 raised can create one course credit that helps train a person to teach, lead, and grow Nordic Walking in their community. Fundraisers can use earned credits to take the instructor course themselves, train a leader for their team, support a local club, or help create instructors for senior centers, rehabilitation programs, schools, universities, workplace wellness groups, and community organizations. Nordic Walking is more than exercise. It can support sport, fitness, balance, mobility, active aging, fall prevention, rehabilitation, and community health when people learn it correctly from trained leaders. Your gift may go even further through employer matching. If your company offers matching gifts, your donation may help create more course credits and train more instructors. Donate, fundraise, start a team, or sponsor a future instructor. Help NWANA build the people who will grow Nordic Walking across North America.
