One of the most important aspects of the Ole Miss athletics program is the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation; an agency created to provide direct and indirect funding for scholarships, facilities, and other support for the University of Mississippi Department of Intercollegiate Athletics since 1969.

Through this medium, alumni and friends of Ole Miss Athletics can contribute to the department to aid in financing the high costs of educating student-athletes and improving facilities. Membership is open to all interested persons, and all donations are tax deductible. Without this support, it would be impossible to run a first-class athletics program which has become an integral part of the University.
