FREEDOM ISN'T FREE.

IT'S FUNDED.

INDEPENDENT. ALUMNI-LED. STUDENT-FOCUSED.

The Rattler Freedom Fund is a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to restore alumni confidence and directly support FAMU students, student-athletes, faculty, and staff, scholarships and grants.

Our mission is to establish and sustain an independent financial infrastructure for the FAMU community — one that cannot be controlled, defunded, or directed by any political administration — ensuring FAMU students, faculty, and alumni always have a champion acting in their interest. Your gift helps fund FAMU for generations to come!

STRIKE FORWARD. GIVE BACK.

Choose your level. Join the movement. Fund FAMU's future.

What if 1,000 Rattlers gave $1,887 each? Whether $188.70/month or a one-time or accumulating gift, together, that would generate $1.887 million a year for FAMU.

This isn't charity. It's ownership. The Rattler Freedom Fund is built on six connected giving levels, anchored by the Strike Zone, the 1887 Society, and the 1887 Legacy Society. Every level of giving matters, and your donation is a stake in a FAMU that belongs to us.

Every gift supports independent decisions that no political administration can control, defund, or direct.
