UMAA Foundation Mission Statement
The UMAA Foundation has the obligation and responsibility, as a non-profit corporation, to use its resources in a responsible and effective manner to foster the mission of the University and its Intercollegiate Athletics Department.
The mission of the UMAA Foundation is to aid the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics at The University of Mississippi. Such assistance takes the form of providing scholarships for student-athletes, funding for necessary facility improvements, supplements to coaches' salaries, and by supporting the department in many other ways necessary to have an outstanding athletics program.
History of the UMAA Foundation
One of the most important aspects of the Ole Miss athletic program is the UMAA Foundation, an agency created to provide supplementary income for use by the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. The UMAA Foundation was formerly known as the Ole Miss Loyalty Foundation, which was founded on July 1, 1969.
Through this medium, alumni and friends of the Ole Miss Athletics Department 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 athletic program which has become an integral part of the University.
