#GivingTuesday 2021

UC is entering into a new era as a Power Five school.

And in joining the Big 12—whose members won five team national titles in 2020-21 alone—every competitive advantage matters for our 450-plus student-athletes.

As part of the university’s Next, Now Campaign, UC Athletics’ Day One Ready Campaign is a $100 million fundraising initiative that’s focused on achieving Next Level Success in our new conference. With your support for signature facilities, student-athlete wellness and championship readiness, the Bearcats won’t just be prepared to compete on their first official day in the Big 12.

They’ll be ready to bring championships home to Cincinnati.

THE NEXT LEVEL SUCCESS FUND
Though it was created to provide the necessary resources for achieving next level success, this fund offered crucial support for UC’s student-athletes. As part of the Day One Ready Campaign, your gift to the Next Level Fund will amplify its renewed focus on helping the Bearcats reach new heights of competitive excellence in the Big 12.

SPORT-SPECIFIC FUNDS
To keep our Bearcats dreaming and achieving, each if our 18 varsity sports offer development funds created with the sole intention of elevating each team to support our mission to achieve Next Level Success. As we embark on our transition into the Big 12, these funds will be critical to the continued growth and development of our department.
