Overview

Mission

Provide a championship experience with integrity on and off the field for student-athletes and the gator nation.

What it reported doing in 2024

Athletic scholarships: a total of 642 scholarships were provided to student athletes at the university of Florida during the fiscal year ended 06/30/25.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 72% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 80% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration and liabilities are high compared with assets.
