Athletics

Giving Day is here! Celebrate with a gift to Syracuse Athletics to elevate our 20 varsity athletic programs and more than 550 student-athletes!

All gifts to Syracuse Athletics on Giving Day will count towards Champion 'CUSE: The Campaign for Syracuse Athletics, a university-wide initiative aimed towards building championship-caliber athletic programs.

Giving Day and Champion 'CUSE offer several avenues for donors to support Syracuse Athletics to ensure everyone who cheers on the Orange has a way to make an impact on the area they care about most:

Athletics Competitive Excellence: A brand-new giving option launched in 2025 to maximize revenue-sharing opportunities for Syracuse University student-athletes and strengthen our athletic programs’ ability to recruit, retain, and develop elite talent to build championship-caliber programs.

Athletics Opportunity Fund: Provides unrestricted annual support to all 20 varsity sports programs and 550+ student-athletes at Syracuse. Allocated at the discretion of the athletic director to address the department’s most pressing needs.

Sport-Specific Head Coaches’ Funds: Support your favorite Syracuse program by donating directly to one of our sport-specific Head Coaches’ funds. Donations assist with program’s operational budget and are allocated at the discretion of the head coach and athletics senior staff.
