Areas of Assistance

Black Bear Fund - If you would like to make a gift that will positively impact each student-athlete and all athletic programs, the Black Bear Fund accomplishes that. Donors to the Black Bear Fund help supplement scholarships for student-athletes on an annual basis. 

Endowed Scholarships - Increasing private support for scholarships has never been more critical. In order to attract and retain the best and brightest student-athletes, Maine must provide these young men and women with adequate financial aid to cover tuition, room and board, and books. Scholarship support is the most crucial element to the success of the student-athlete and each team.

Team-Specific Support - You can direct your support to your favorite Maine team(s). Team specific support provides discretionary funds for head coaches to enhance recruiting efforts, purchase new equipment or uniforms, expand the travel schedule nationally, compete in international competitions, meet emergency needs, attract and retain excellent assistant coaches, and improve facilities.

Capital Projects - You can direct your support to specific capital projects. For information on current capital projects please contact the Athletic Development at 207-581-1130.
