The Viking Athletic Fund (VAF) was established to support Portland State Athletic's mission, which is to provide the necessary scholarship fund to allow as many student-athletes the opportunity for an athletic and academic experience at Portland State University. Since 1968, philanthropic gifts have supported the development of Viking student-athletes.

By donating to the VAF, you become an integral part in building futures for promising student-athletes at Portland State University. Donors are friends, alumni, and advocates of the university who recognize the value of intercollegiate athletic experience and enthusiastically participate in a variety of ways. In addition to the satisfaction of supporting the educational efforts of PSU’s student-athletes, there are a number of fantastic benefits that go along with the support of the VAF. Some of these benefits include: priority season tickets, hospitality, parking privileges, and invitations to special events.
