Tailtiu Center for the Promotion of Women in Sport

In Irish myth, the goddess Tailtiu—foster mother of the hero Lugh—embodies endurance, land, and the spirit of athletic competition. According to legend, she cleared the forests of Ireland so fields could be cultivated, and in her honor the ancient Tailteann Games were held: contests of running, strength, and skill that echoed across the countryside. Tailtiu reminds us that sport has long been a cultural celebration of human potential. Today, however, many female athletes still lack equal resources and visibility. Expanding women’s sports requires committed support, including sponsorship systems like Anthro International’s initiative, where athletes can apply for backing that helps transform talent, training, and dedication into opportunity.

Anthro International is offering 1 athlete a $1200 US sponsorship (paid out over 12 months). Interested applications should fill out the form here to apply: https://forms.gle/PyGRdyemFYfDd6Np9
