Supporting BMo
Brown University Sports Foundation
Gifts to the Brown University Sports Foundation (BUSF) help provide immediate-use support to the ultimate program that allows our teams to thrive. When you make a current-use gift, you're helping this year's team get to Nationals. While Brown stepped up its funding of the program in recent years, BMo still depends on money coming from BUSF to help cover the cost of travel, coaching, equipment, and access to training staff.
Maintaining a Nationals-caliber ultimate team costs a lot of money. Over the past few years, we have managed to raise $35,000 or more each season to make up for the team's budget shortfall and enabled players to participate without team dues. Money goes to coaching, training staff, travel, equipment and other tournament costs.
Here's how:
- Visit the BUSF Club Sports giving page
-
"Select a Fund" should already be selected and you should see this:
- Choose "Support Club & Intramural Sports" from the drop-down under "What would like to support?"
- Choose "Club Ultimate Frisbee (Men's and Open)" from the drop-down under "I'd like to give to"
- Fill in the amount and you're good to go. Thanks!
Franz Fund
Did you know that Brown Ultimate has its own endowment fund named after Michael Franz '03. As an endowment, its funds go to help both this year's players as well as future generations. Keep in mind that you can actively promote equity and diversity in our sport by reducing or eliminating the need for player fees, which can be as much as $1,000 per player per year and may limit who can play for BMo.
If you have year-end giving yet to do, please donate to the Franz Fund. No amount is too small, even $5 will help (but $100 would be better!).
Here's how:
- Visit the BUSF giving page
-
Click the "Search for a Fund" button at the top right, you should see this:
-
Type in "Franz" and press "SEARCH", you should see this:
- Press "SELECT". You should see "Michael V. Franz '03 Fund for Ultimate Frisbee (Endowment Fund)" filled-in on the main donation form from step 1.
- Fill in the amount and you're good to go. Thanks!
