TWO WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE

PRINT & MAIL 

To join, simply click on this link -- ENROLLMENT FORM (PDF Document) -- print out the form, fill it out, and return it to the Tiger Athletic Fund office. Renewal donors are encouraged to match our athlete's commitment of 110% by contributing at least 110% of their previous gift. Of course, the greatest benefit is the satisfaction of knowing that you enabled Towson University's student-athletes to receive a quality education and participate in the Tigers' success.

DONATE ON-LINE 

You may also make your gift or pledge on-line  through the Towson University Development Office web-site. Select the giving level that corresponds to your intended gift/pledge. Then select Tiger Athletic Fund/Athletics as your gift/pledge designation. Complete the on-line gift/pledge form and make sure to note in the "Comments" box what sport/special project/scholarship you would like to have your gift/pledge support.

There are a number of different ways that you can make your gift to support Towson University Athletics.  All gifts fall under the umbrella of the Towson University Foundation, Inc. and are tax deductible as allowed by law.

• Annual Giving enables our sports programs to defray their costs of recruiting, travel, equipment and other operational costs above those funded through the department budget process.  Gifts can be made using a credit card (Visa, MasterCard or Discover), cash, personal checks or money orders made payable to the Towson University Foundation, Inc.

• Major Gifts are above and beyond donations given during capital project campaigns.  An example of a major gift would be a $1 Million donation toward the General TAF account.

• Endowments enable Towson to fund an annual scholarship to a deserving student-athlete or to provide a guaranteed funding source for a sports program. Endowment donors will enjoy the chance to create a lasting legacy that supports future generations of Tiger athletes.

• Gifts of long-held appreciated securities are a popular alternative to cash gifts. In addition to receiving a charitable income tax deduction for the full market value of your gift, you may also bypass capital gains tax on the appreciation.

• Planned Gifts including bequests and life–income plans are another available gift option. For information, contact Donna Mayer, Senior Director of Gift Planning at 410-704-3375 or toll free at 1-866-301-3375.

• Gifts – in – Kind includes services or products instead of, or in addition to, a cash gift.  In some cases these gifts may enable you to make a significant gift to support Towson with tax benefits to you.

• Matching Gift Programs are an easy way to double or even triple your contribution to Towson University. Such programs typically match all or a percentage of employee contributions to charitable organizations.  Please check with your human resources office for the proper form and enclose it when you send in your gift. 

• Gift Pledges. Towson welcomes your gift through a pledge—a formal statement of intention to make a gift to the university. With a pledge, you may complete your gift by making regular payments over time, allowing you to give more generously than you originally may have considered.

All funds received by the Tiger Athletic Fund are placed under the management of the Towson University Foundation, Inc. The Foundation's mission is to ensure that gifts and contributions will be utilized to benefit Towson University Athletics as requested by the donor.
