Leadership Above and Beyond Annual Giving
We invite all Tennessee supporters to get further involved and consider an above and beyond gift to Tennessee Athletics!
We’re fortunate here on Rocky Top to have so many fans be season ticket holders to our numerous sports. The contributions help us fund our overall budget and make the experience for our student-athletes top-notch in their day to day. The support and passion of Vol Nation is felt everyday and now we need to take it to the next level! We are asking each fan to consider giving a philanthropic gift this year to a cause that is meaningful to them!
In 2022 we had 3,807 donors give a philanthropic gift in support of our student-athletes and coaches. That number was 2,821 in 2023. We are looking to set a record this year and we have work to do to help our student-athletes and coaches be the best they can be. Help us accomplish our goals and make a gift today!
How can I get further involved?

Sport Specific Excellence Funds
Excellence fund gifts go directly to the specified team of your choosing and are used at the discretion of the head coach in conjunction with the sport administrator. Your gifts, for example, can help to fill the cost for equipment needs throughout the season or even contribute to covering team meals

What do your dollars support?
Here at the University of Tennessee, we are committed to providing the best experience possible for our student-athletes and coaches. We approach this from a holistic sense and want to see our programs thrive in competition, in the classroom, and in the community. In order to provide the best, we need continued philanthropic support. Department costs continue to go up as the average cost per student-athlete is now $128,767.32. As a result, donor support is vital! Below are a few examples of what your donations go towards!
