Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre used his charity foundation to donate more than $130,000 to the University of Southern Mississippi’s athletic foundation from 2018-2020, according to The Athletic’s Katie Strang and Kalyn Kahler.

His foundation, Favre 4 Hope, has helped support “underserved and disabled children and breast cancer patients” for years. That foundation gave Southern Mississippi’s athletic foundation $60,000 in 2018 — $50,000 more than it gave any other charity in the same year. It gave more than $46,800 in 2019, and then more than $26,100 in 2020.

Throughout that entire time, Favre 4 Hope gave no other charitable organization more than $11,000, per the report.

Favre 4 Hope also donated $60,000 to Oak Grove High School’s booster club in 2015. Favre’s daughter was a volleyball player at the high school at the time, and the donation was then given to the school with the stated purpose to “assist to build athletic facility.” The school opened a nearly 15,000 square foot volleyball facility later that year.
