Gift Designations

Contributions to the Black & Gold Club have and will continue to transform Bryant Athletics and provide vital resources to make Bryant University a conference, regional and national leader in delivering an exceptional student-athlete experience. Donors to Bryant Athletics have the option to contribute to the following designations:

Black & Gold General Athletics Fund: Supports the areas of greatest and most pressing needs at the discretion of the Vice President, Athletics & Recreation.

Black & Gold Sport-Specific Operational Funds: Provides supplemental support and operational enhancements earmarked exclusively and immediately for the sport(s) or sports performance area of your choice.

Facility Projects and Capital Improvements: Supports current and future capital initiatives to enhance the experience for student-athletes, coaches, sports performance, and athletics support staff. Bryant’s campaign for the all-new Athletic Fieldhouse is the Department’s current and most critical capital project, as it capitalizes on Bryant’s Vision 2030 Strategic Plan initiatives and its ever-growing Division I athletics program during a new era of intercollegiate competition in the America East Conference, CAA Football, East Coast Conference, Ohio Valley and Southland Conference.

Endowments: Through various investment vehicles, endowments provide annual spendable income necessary to support Bryant Athletics’ annual scholarship obligation and other budget relieving and enhancing expenses.
