TROJAN ATHLETIC FUND VISION | OUR VISION
The Trojan Athletic Fund (TAF) is the primary fundraising arm of Little Rock Athletics, connecting passionate alumni, fans, and friends to the mission of supporting student-athletes through impactful philanthropy. Rooted in a belief that athletics is a powerful platform for education, leadership, and lifelong growth, the TAF is committed to fostering a culture of excellence on and off the field.

Through annual contributions and strategic investments, the TAF provides critical resources that allow our programs—and the student-athletes who define them—to thrive.
