The Old Dominion Athletic Foundation, commonly referred to as the ODAF, was established in 1964 with the mission to provide the resources necessary for the success of Old Dominion Athletics and our student-athletes. The ODAF is the channel through which our fans and alumni can partner with our coaches and student-athletes for the advancement of the athletics program.
The Old Dominion Athletic Foundation
In August of 2017 ODU President, John Broderick, announced a fundraising initiative for Old Dominion University. As a part of the university wide initiative, the Old Dominion Athletic Foundation was tasked with raising $40,000,000 in support of ODU Athletics and our student-athletes. Thanks to our committed supporters, we have surpassed our goal!
In 2021, our goal is to further focus on our student-athletes. Our yearly mission is to fundraise 45% of our annual scholarship bill. This year that number stands at $4,300,000. Our unrestricted Annual Fund helps to cover this amount along with premium seating revenues. Your annual gift is critical to our success in providing championship resources in the classroom, in athletic competition and in life. Follow our progress below and thank you for supporting ODU Athletics!
Because of you, we create winners in the classroom, in athletic competition, and in life!

If you could describe ODU in one word, what word would it be and why? Home. I've made my closest friends in the classroom and the stands of the various stadiums on campus and each time I go back on campus I'm reminded of why I love it so much.
