Membership ANNUAL
MEMBERSHIP In 2005-06 the athletics department will provide approximately $300,000 in scholarship assistance to its student-athletes. It is the goal of the Foundation to raise enough monies to annually fund all scholarships for men and women student-athletes. Membership in the Bengal Foundation allows you to choose from nine gift clubs ranging in price from $75 to $10,000 annually. If football or men's basketball seats are associated with your membership, 80 percent of the membership may be deductible as a charitable gift, according to the Internal Revenue Service Code, Section 170 (m). It is always prudent to consult with your tax advisor when determining the deductibility of any gifts. For additional information on gift clubs and membership benefits, visit our Membership Benefits page.
