University of Connecticut Athletics
Success is defined in many ways, but one thing is undeniable. The feats that UConn Athletics has achieved over the past three years have been extraordinary and historic. As we prepare to play in another NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four, our 24th overall, we pridefully reflect upon these heights of greatness, which have also included back-to-back men’s basketball national championships and two football bowl games, including the Fenway Bowl victory this past season. Since 2022-23, UConn has captured 27 conference championships, enjoyed 23 NCAA Tournament appearances and had 18 All-Americans across all sports. Nine teams were ranked in the national polls, 22 student-athletes were drafted by professional teams and 11 current or former Huskies competed in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
Excellence is at the heart of the Husky tradition. Unrestricted and annual giving to the Fight on Fund, Sport Specific Funds, or other annual fund priorities are paramount in the sustained success and growth of UConn Athletics. These forms of support provide the flexibility needed to address immediate priorities of the Division of Athletics and individual programs.
Starting July 1, 2025, pending approval of the House Settlement, UConn Athletics will be allowed to directly support student-athletes through revenue sharing. Gifts designated to the Fight on Fund will support our comprehensive excellence in this space and help us ensure a positive impact on our programs.
Simple Ways to Fund Excellence
The Fight On Fund supports the overall development of UConn’s student-athletes and will provide essential resources for the future of college athletics and revenue sharing. This is the best place to direct a donation to show your Husky pride and keep Fighting On For Connecticut.
Supporting UConn sport-specific accounts allows donors to make a direct impact on the teams they are most passionate about. These contributions provide essential resources for operations, equipment, travel, and program enhancements that elevate the student-athlete experience to the program of your choosing.
Annual giving is the foundation of sustained excellence for UConn Athletics, providing critical, flexible support that impacts all 21 varsity programs. Your consistent support ensures our student-athletes have the tools they need to succeed both on and off the field.
