David Murphy Memorial Football Endowment

After graduating from W&M, David stayed very close to W&M Athletics, particularly the football program. He also served as Chairman of the Tribe Club Board from 1998- 2000, where he gave so much of his time and energy to secure gifts in support of Tribe Football, helping enhance the student-athlete experience for many years to come. Please consider making a gift in honor of a true member of our Tribe.

Alumni Athlete Giving Challenge
Help your team take the lead in this fun annual giving tradition. Since 2005, W&M Athletics has tracked the percentage of alumni athletes who donate to each specific sport. Unrestricted and sports-specific donations make an immediate impact and assist with essential team needs. Please help us reach our goal to increase annual contributions from $4 million to $5 million. Your participation in the Alumni Athlete Giving Challenge could help your team pull into the lead while making a direct impact for your sport. Give today! 


 

One Tribe One Day 

Join the fun each spring at William & Mary's university-wide day of giving celebration — One Tribe One Day (OTOD). This one-day event is a chance to show how much the university means to you and the impact it has had on your life. Around the world, and throughout the day, the W&M community will gather to celebrate by giving back and paying it forward. Every gift, no matter the size, strengthens the university. Information about each year's OTOD will be shared via William & Mary Athletics' communication channels.


 

Women Student-Athlete Support

Challenge Gift for Women Student-Athlete Scholarships
Thanks to a generous challenge gift from an anonymous alumna, a portion of contributions to all W&M women's athletics programs scholarship funds are eligible to be matched up to $1 million per year over three years. The university's goal is to raise $250,000 in fiscal year (FY) 2022, $500,000 in FY23 and $750,000 in FY24 for women student-athlete scholarship. Collectively, with the support of the alumna, the university aims to raise $3 million over three years. 
Society of 1918/Women in Action Partnership
This exciting collaboration connects two incredible W&M women's initiatives. The Society of 1918 is furthering its mission to support fellow W&M women by underwriting alumnae engagement through Women in Action. The Society of 1918/Women in Action partnership brings together philanthropic women leaders who support W&M women athletes.


Women In Action Champion
Donors who pledge $1,000 over the next five fiscal years, will be honored as a "Champion of Women in Action" and will have the opportunity to be featured on TribeAthletics.com "Wall of Women's Champions"
