Recognizing the nickname of the university's namesake, the Swamp Fox Club is the fund-raising arm of the Francis Marion athletic program.  FMU sponsors 14 intercollegiate sports, seven each for men and women.

According to FMU athletic director Murray Hartzler, "The goal of the organization is to provide a quality college experience for student-athletes as well as scholarship support for each team, as established under NCAA and Peach Belt Conference guidelines.  We also want to remind supporters that the Swamp Fox Club annually provides financial support for more than 225 student-athletes from all 14 sports, and plays a vital role in overall funding of the individual sports teams."

Depending on the amount of the contribution, different membership privileges are afforded Swamp Fox Club members, including admittance to home athletic events.  Memberships are available to both individuals and businesses.
