The Ole Miss Fund

This is for Now. This is for Ever. This is for the Ole Miss Fund

Your gifts to the Ole Miss Fund have ripple effects that touch every student at the university, working to improve campus facilities and technology, attract and retain the best faculty, and offer scholarships to top students. By supporting the Ole Miss Fund:

You build leaders by funding transformative scholarships and grants.
You empower academic excellence by providing access to emerging technology.
You fuel research and innovation by helping attract and retain world-class faculty.
You create economic opportunity by reducing barriers to college degrees and rewarding jobs.

When you give, you are supporting a place we all love, and you’re helping strengthen our calling as the flagship university to transform lives, communities, and the world.

Your gift goes further on Giving Day! Several members of the UM community are challenging you to make a difference in the lives of students. Maximize your impact by answering these challenges and helping us unlock critical resources. Your gift - no matter the size - makes a difference.

It’s easy to give! Ole Miss Giving Day accepts Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, and all major credit cards.
