Maryland must remain innovative and adaptable to enhance its full athletic enterprise and be at the forefront in the current era of collegiate sports. Your support allows us to respond to evolving needs, including recruiting and retaining top student-athletes, expand key student-athlete and fan-first opportunities, and fund initiatives that keep us nationally competitive. When you provide unrestricted philanthropy through the Impact Fund and Director of Athletics Fund, you invest in Jim Smith’s vision and address both the short and long-term needs of the department. This allows us to:

  • Find innovative revenue streams and opportunities.
  • Be community-minded and intentional while building the Terp fanbase in Maryland, the region and nationwide.
  • Tackle future opportunities with vigor.

Your investment will sustain all 20 Maryland Athletics programs by providing the financial flexibility to allocate funds as needs and opportunities arise. This flexibility is key to our continued success in the rapidly shifting college athletics landscape.
