Areas to Give
Competitive Excellence Fund
The Competitive Excellence Fund provides unrestricted money to support Spider Athletics. Unrestricted funds are crucial to the success of Richmond student-athletes, as it provides the Director of Athletics flexibility to distribute funds to the greatest areas of need as they arise. The Competitive Excellence Fund can be used to support team travel, recruiting, equipment, support for unforeseen challenges and many more issues. If you are passionate about all Spider Athletics programs, the Competitive Excellence Fund is the best place for you to designate your gift.
Sport-Specific Giving
The Spider Athletic Fund offers the option to designate gifts in support of each of our Division I sports. Each program has a discretionary fund that supports the day-to-day activities and enhances the student-athlete centered environment that Spider Athletics promotes. Funds are used at the discretion of the head coach and Director of Athletics.
Special Projects
Special projects go above and beyond the day-to-day expenses of the department and help to separate the Richmond student-athlete experience from some of our other peer institutions. Special projects include Capital Projects, Athletic Facility enhancements and Athletic Endowments to ensure the long-term success of Richmond student-athletes.
Leadership and Student-Athlete Development
The Spider Leadership and Student-Athlete Development fund helps to create the best student-athlete experience in the country by developing champion leaders that positively impact themselves, their teams, and the world. This fund includes gifts to the Spider Leadership Initiative, Mental Health & Wellness, Academic Support, Sports Medicine, and Strength & Conditioning.
