Support Our Mission

Thank you!

The support we receive from alumni, family, and fans is incredible. With your support, we’re able to:

  • Protect our future—our endowment is currently at $200,000
  • Reduce player dues and provide assistance for players in need
  • Compete and travel safely across the Big Ten
  • Provide coaching for all players
  • Provide athletic trainers at practices as well as games
  • Fund player attendance at Collegiate All-American camps
  • Send players to New Zealand to play with Poneke FC during the summer

But we’re working on more…

Though we’ve made great strides, our program’s resources still trail rival teams such as Notre Dame, Indiana, and Ohio State. To overtake our rivals, a group of alumni, parents, and supporters along with the Michigan Rugby Foundation have created a 10-year development vision—Michigan Unrivaled—which includes:

  • Improved Player Support – Raising significant funds through annual giving and endowment growth to fund a truly unrivaled player experience.
  • Michigan Rugby Facility – Finding a permanent home on campus that provides world-class game experiences and highlights our legacy.
  • Full-time Coaching – Our coaches are currently part-time or volunteer. To excel on the field, we need to support sustainable coach dedication.
  • Recruiting – In an ever-increasingly competitive collegiate rugby landscape, attracting the best players requires developed campus relationships.

…and we need your help

You can play a part in the future of Michigan Rugby. To learn more about our Unrivaled vision, go to michiganunrivaled.com.

Thank you for your generosity. Go Blue!
