The UNLV Football Foundation
The UNLV Football Foundation was established in 1987 with the overall growth of UNLV Football in mind. Over the years, the Foundation has made several contributions to enhance the football program, including financial support and capital improvements such as the Fertitta Football Complex. In addition to financial support, the Foundation lends other services to boost the accomplishments of the program relative to academic achievement, former football student-athlete degree completion, community involvement, long-term planning and goodwill. The Foundation accomplishes this through donations pledged by individuals and select fundraising events like the Rebel Football Foundation Golf Tournament.
