The Florida State Seminoles received a record amount of donations during the 2026 fiscal year, the program announced on Tuesday. FSU's supporters gave more than $106 million in pledges and eclipsed $86 million in cash contributions, both all-time records.
“Florida State has entered a new era of momentum this year, and the credit belongs to the thousands of Seminole supporters whose generosity powered the most successful fundraising year in Seminole Boosters history,” Vice President and Director of Athletics Michael Alford said. “We have set ambitious outlooks for all of our programs, invested in facilities and continued to enhance opportunities for our student-athletes. Our ability to provide elite experiences for our student-athletes and fans is a testament to what a unified Florida State fan and alumni base can accomplish when it invests in something it believes in. I’m incredibly grateful for the support of the individual Seminole Booster supporters who have invested in our vision for Florida State athletics.”
Seminole Boosters grew by 15.6%, saw the Coaches Club giving increase from $3 million to $11.1 million, a 270% rise, and received two transformational bequests exceeding $10 million each.
“These numbers represent people, not just totals,” Seminole Boosters President and CEO Stephen Ponder said. “Every gift, from a first-time donor joining the Seminole Athletic Fund or the Bowden Society to a family establishing a legacy bequest, is impactful to our mission to support Florida State Athletics. This year proved that our Seminole Boosters community loves the Noles and they love being part of the fabric that supports FSU Athletics.
