Your organization's matched gift will increase your lifetime giving status and further support our mission to provide the best student-athlete experience in the nation. Under the new tax reform, organizations cannot match contributions connected to tickets or priority points. All philanthropic gifts that are tax deductible are eligible for matched giving.

Lifetime Giving:
Tax reform legislation passed in December of 2017 impacted donations associated with tickets to college athletic events. This includes any gift associated with season tickets or priority points, which are currently not tax-deductible. This information is not intended to provide or should not be relied on for tax, legal or accounting advice. Please consult your tax advisor(s) concerning the application of tax laws to your particular situation.
Yes! If the fund is not associated with tickets/parking, you may decline priority points to improve tax deductibility. Please write this on your donor statement or enter in the comments section when donating online.
