Giving Opportunities

Why Give?

Annual giving offers vital scholarship assistance and unrestricted support across three key areas and serves a unique purpose, whether it’s enhancing donor benefits, providing flexible financial support, or ensuring student-athletes thrive in the evolving NIL landscape. Contributions to any of these areas can boost your priority points in the Cyclone Club, enhancing your benefits.

Cyclone Club

Cyclone Club is designed to enhance the game-day experience for donors by providing priority seating at events and premium parking access. However, contributions to this fund are not tax-deductible, as they are directly tied to receiving seating and parking benefits.
