About the CAF

The Cardinal Athletic Fund was established in 1979 as an avenue for the Athletic Department to be a self sustaining entity. Since then, the commitment and growth of the CAF has been extraordinary.

For over 30 years, the goals and dreams of UofL student-athletes have been made possible by the Cardinal Athletic Fund and over 10,000 gracious supporters. Through our members’ annual contributions, UofL student-athletes are provided the opportunity to pursue their academic goals and their athletic dreams, while learning the skills that will prepare them to impact their future communities.

Your membership in the CAF provides you with many exciting benefits as outlined in this website. As our Athletic program grows in new ways, including the Expansion of Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium and the addition of the KFC Yum! Center, these benefits will provide you with great value and enhance your overall experience as part of the UofL team.
