Athletics
Support Champions on Give Day

UC Santa Barbara's Intercollegiate Athletics Department provides resources to create life-changing educational opportunities for today’s student-athletes and helps them develop their full potential in both academic and athletic settings. 

Gifts to the Athletics funds provide critical, flexible funding for all of UC Santa Barbara’s 450 student-athletes. Gifts can be restricted to a specific sport team and program or unrestricted to the Athletic Director’s Enhancement Fund, which provides academic support, career and leadership development, sports medicine, and sports performance resources for all of our student-athletes. 

Support of Intercollegiate Athletics is an investment in our student-athletes' drive to succeed, grow, and reach their goals. Thank you for your support!
