SAFE Samford is an advocacy group founded in 2017 by Brit Blalock to support LGBTQ students, faculty and staff at Samford University.

SAFE Samford distributes "Safe Zone" stickers to help students identify faculty who are open to discussing issues of gender and sexuality at the university without prejudice.

The group has campaigned to oppose the action of the Samford University Office of Spiritual Life to remove LGBTQ-affirming college ministries affiliated with the Episcopalian and Presbyterian USA denominations from participating in its annual campus ministry fair.

SAFE Samford also advocates for the approval of LGBTQ identity-based campus organizations such as Samford Together, an undergraduate advocacy organization which was approved by the faculty senate but denied recognition by then-president Andrew Westmoreland, and OUTLaw Samford, a proposed affiliate of the LGBTQ+ Bar for Cumberland School of Law students.
