How to Make a Gift

How to Make A Gift

The EAF is the all-encompassing umbrella of Athletics giving, donor, and former student-athlete relations. All gifts made to sport excellence funds, capital projects, scholarships, unrestricted funds and to the EKG Society fall under the umbrella and mission of the Eagle Athletic Fund, which is to provide the resources necessary for the success of our student-athletes. Every gift to every athletic fund makes you an Eagle Athletic Fund member! However, to qualify for annual benefits, such as tickets and parking, gifts must be made through seat contributions or the Eagle Athletic Greatness (EAG) Fund. Below are some of the ways you can invest in our student-athletes.

Employer Matching Gifts

Many companies sponsor matching gift programs to support college or university giving. Please consult with your company’s HR or Community Relations experts to see if your company has such a program. Matching gifts cannot be applied to contributions required for priority seating; however, they can be applied to all other support areas, such as sport enhancement funds, scholarship endowments, capital projects, etc.

For as little as $50 a year, you can join the EAF! The best way to start a donation is with the purchase of season tickets.
