About


The biggest UVM Athletics fundraiser of the year is happening now!


From Monday, October 19 to Monday, October 26 at 11:59 p.m., this is your chance to make an impact for your favorite team.


Catamount Challenge 2026 is your opportunity to rally behind your favorite UVM team and make a difference for the student-athletes who represent Vermont. Your gift provides essential resources that help our Catamounts succeed, both in competition and in the classroom.

Join us now through Monday, October 26, and show your support!

🏆 Help Your Team Win Additional Funding!

In addition to the dollars raised for their programs, teams can compete for up to $5,000 in additional funding through three competitions:

  • $2,500 for most overall donors
  • $1,500 for most dollars raised
  • $1,000 for most alumni donors

Any gift of $5 or more to any team or program counts toward the competition!

There are just two simple rules:

  1. One gift per person, per team counts toward the donor competitions, but you can support as many teams as you'd like!
  2. Don't make gifts on behalf of others. Instead, become an advocate and spread the word!

Every contribution goes directly to the team or program you choose, and every donor helps their team compete for additional funding.

Make your gift today and support your favorite Catamounts!

Note: Gifts made during Catamount Challenge do not qualify for Victory Club benefits.
