The Georgia Southern Athletic Foundation's main fundraising arm is the Eagle Fund, which provides scholarship support for nearly 400 Georgia Southern student-athletes. Eagle Fund members contribute to the university's athletics program at one of eight giving levels. The levels range from True Blue with a minimum donation of $120 to Champion Society with a minimum donation of $50,000.

Along with contributing to the Eagle Fund, supporters of Georgia Southern Athletics can help student-athletes by making a planned gift, establishing an endowment, or donating money directly to a specific sport. The Georgia Southern Athletic Foundation also manages the Coaches' Continuity Fund, which helps retain quality coaches at Georgia Southern by providing them a bonus structure.
