With college athletics entering a new era following the approval of the House v. NCAA settlement, William & Mary is taking deliberate steps to position its programs and student-athletes for long-term success.
“William & Mary’s approach has always been grounded in integrity and thoughtful planning,” said Brian D. Mann, Director of Athletics. “As the landscape changes nationally, we are focused on building systems that serve our student-athletes well and align with the mission and values of the university.”
These changes include new opportunities for supporters to make charitable contributions through new NIL enhancement funds, known as Green & Gold Funds, to promote student-athlete success and competitive excellence within a compliant and sustainable framework. Gifts can be directed to a specific sport, allowing supporters to invest in the continued growth and success of those programs, and can be made in all the traditional ways that gifts come to W&M.
