GIVING
Your membership not only encourages our student-athletes today, but can create opportunities for generations to come. Learn about ways to give to the Tennessee Fund and how your donation helps current and future student-athletes.
Why Give?
As we strive to win championships in the nation’s best conference and build leaders in the classroom, your support is more important than ever. By factoring in other direct expenses such as travel, academic support and sports medicine, the complete student-athlete package reaches over $132,000 annually. These expenses add up, as UT supports over 600 student-athletes.
Ways to Give
There are many ways to give to the Tennessee Fund. Find out which option is best for you.

Sport Specific Giving
Interested in making a significant impact on your favorite Tennessee Team? Make a sport specific gift!
Gifts made to a sport-specific excellence fund directly enhance the lives of the team’s student-athletes by funding team-specific needs and ultimately allowing our student-athletes to achieve their academic and athletic pursuits. These gifts are utilized at the discretion of each head coach.
Name, Image and Likeness (NIL)
Support our student-athletes through name, image and likeness (NIL) opportunities by partnering with them for endorsements, appearances, and meet and greets, purchasing their NIL merchandise, or joining our local NIL collectives: The Volunteer Club sponsored by SPYRE Sports and the Lady Vol Boost (HER)
Club.
