An individual who makes a charitable gift to UCF Athletics of any amount becomes a UCF Athletics donor. Donors are then recognized based on the level of their gift. Those who give less than $5,000 on an annual basis are part of UCF Athletics Annual Giving.
A significant part of UCF's promising future is the aggregate potential of its vast and growing alumni base. As an attempt to realize this potential over the next decade, ChargeOn Fund Annual Giving is here to encourage charitable support of UCF Athletics from $1 to $4,999 annually. In preparation for our transition to the Big 12 Conference, our goal is for Knights to consider increasing their current contribution level by 125 annually. Can our student-athletes count on you?

Expanding upon the 12 for 12 campaign which launched in Fall 2021, our new recurring gift program gives knights the opportunity to invest in UCF Athletics in a sustainable way. Donors can choose 2 or 5 year commitments for their recurring gifts based on their gift level. Knights that give between $1,200 to $4,999 annually will be invited to a ChargeOn Fund Appreciation event. All donors will be recognized for their support through thoughtful stewardship strategy.
- Discovery | $12 for 12 - $144 annually (2-year commitment totaling $288)
- Orion | $50 Level - $600 annually (2-year commitment totaling $1,200)
- Polaris | $100 Level - $1,200 annually (5-year commitment totaling $6,000)
- Artemis | $200 Level - $2,400 annually (5-year commitment totaling $12,000)
