Athletics Annual Fund

How to make an immediate impact for Brown’s student-athletes.

Breadcrumb

Brown student-athletes stand out for their steadfast commitment to becoming leaders and mentors. It is critical that every player and every team have access to the tools necessary to help our student-athletes perform at the highest level in competition, the classroom, and the community. Immediate-use funds are essential to strengthening Brown's success both in the Ivy League and on a national level.

Comprised of our varsity team annual funds* and the Athletic Director's Excellence Fund, the Brown University Sports Foundation Athletics Annual Fund provides the bedrock for fostering an enriching experience for all of our Brown student-athletes.

Athletics Annual Fund donors are eligible for membership in the Brown Annual Fund’s recognition societies: the Carrie Tower Society (recognizing leadership-level giving) and the 1764 Society (recognizing at least three consecutive years of giving).

Donors to the Athletics Annual Fund are also eligible to become part of our Loyal Bears program, which recognizes alumni, parents, and friends who have given any amount to any area of Brown Athletics through the Sports Foundation for two or more consecutive fiscal years.


*The BUSF Athletics Annual Fund consists of the Athletic Director's Excellence Fund and designations for each Brown varsity sport. Varsity teams that are a part of the Athletics Annual Fund have sport-specific fundraising goals to support program operations.
