With its new non-profit designation, WFIA will expand its mission to include charitable initiatives focused on assisting wrestlers, referees, managers, production staff, and other industry professionals facing financial or personal hardship.

“Professional wrestling has given so much to generations of fans,” said [Brian Ferguson/ WFIA President]. “Becoming a non-profit allows WFIA to give back in a meaningful and structured way to the individuals who built this industry.”

 

WFIA plans to develop assistance programs, fundraising initiatives, partnerships, and community-driven efforts designed to provide relief and resources to those within the wrestling world who need support. Details regarding specific programs and fundraising campaigns will be announced in the coming months.
