About
About the MWRDF
The Midwest Rugby Development Foundation (MWRDF) was founded in 1996 to operate exclusively for charitable and educational purposes to foster national and international amateur competition in the sport of rugby. The MWRDF invests in and builds the rugby community with the operating principles of growth, development, and advancement. Our fundraising efforts extend from events to an endowment and all funds raised go to accomplishing our stated mission. In addition, the MWRDF provides community, information, and support to players, clubs, and families throughout the Greater Cincinnati region.
01
Fundraising
As a 501c3 non-profit organization, the MWRDF raises funds through several different methods including individual donations, corporate sponsorships, community efforts with Kroger Rewards & Amazon Smile, raffles for well known high-end prizes, and events such as the annual euchre tournament.
02
Endowment
The best way to guarantee the success of rugby in Greater Cincinnati is with a long term financial plan that provides for the monetary funding needed in the years and decades to come. The MWRDF endowment allows individuals to donate life insurance proceeds, stocks, real estate, and many other forms of financial sponsorship to benefit amateur rugby.
Volunteering
There are many ways to volunteer - coaching clinics, 7s & 15s tournaments, and social gatherings are just some of the many different events sponsored by the MWRDF throughout the rugby calendar each year. The multitude of events are a great way to create community, teach rugby, and build stronger rugby clubs, together!
04
Donating
Being a non-profit 501c3 offers us the opportunity to offer tax credit donation options. Donating money to the Midwest Rugby Development Foundation drives the success of our support of the development of rugby, and every bit helps. We offer several options: one-time, monthly recurring, and yearly recurring.

MWRDF Impact
The Foundation creates oportunities for our club to better develop our players and program. They've created avenues for our players to play oversees, graduate to select-sides, and more. The grounds and equipment they provide are best-in-class and the whole region benefits.
The MWRDF has sky-rocketed Rookie Rugby in Cincinnati. The team has a long-term vision, and focusing on the kids is a great way to work toward that vision. Their support has had a huge impact for us.
The Midwest Rugby Foundation works closely with us and our Grayhounds - that said, I want to be clear, there is a clear distinction between the two organizations. They support us with the Brimelow Fields (for us and all the clubs around), equipment, and more. Us here at CRFC are appreciative for all the the MWRDF does for the rugby community.
