Shadowfax Racing is a volunteer-based charity and as such, we depend on the generous financial and in-kind donations of various people and organisations,
Shadowfax racing spends the money we raise on funding our trainees transport and food costs for the program, as wells as entering races and keeping all the boats and kit up to scratch. In particular all the boats involved in the program are fully coded every three years.
We fundraise through a combination of private donations, events and grants.
