GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
As operational costs continue to rise, the need to grow annual support remains a critical priority. There are various opportunities to support our student-athletes. Donations provide resources essential to their success including scholarships, team travel, recruiting, athletic facilities, nutrition, staffing, equipment and beyond.
UNRESTRICTED GIVING
Unrestricted gifts designated to TAF give the athletic director the most freedom to enhance areas from which all student-athletes can benefit. Unrestricted giving supports the well-being of all Tigers, rather than the scope of giving to one team or project.
INDIVIDUAL SPORT GIVING
Each team at TU has needs that extend beyond the funding capabilities of the athletics department. Gifts to individual sports support additional resources needed to compete at the highest level. Giving to a specific sport or project is a great way to feel a deeper connection with the sport that is most meaningful to you.
ENDOWMENTS
Giving to an endowment is an investment in the future of TU Athletics while still allowing current Tigers to benefit. An endowment accrues interest and allows a percentage to be drawn annually for scholarships or annual support. The more invested in an endowment, the greater the annual impact will be.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
Private support for capital projects enhances TU Athletics in the areas of recruiting, competitiveness and functionality. To learn more about upcoming enhancements, please inquire with the Tiger Athletic Fund.
