12 Frequently Asked Questions What are Priority Points Priority points are one of the most important parts of a donor s account. Priority points are used to determine an account s seating location, new seat request, additional seat requests, seat relocation requests and post-season ticket availability. Each account has two sets of priority points, one for football and one for men s basketball. The way that priority points are calculated is below: SDSU Priority Point System One Point for every $100 donated (unrestricted) to the Club s fund drive (current year) One Point for every $1,000 Club lifetime donation (unrestricted and restricted) Two points for each continuous year of season tickets (sport specific) With the purchase of 2016 Football s you will receive a one-time FIVE POINT BONUS for the season (does not carry over into the season) in your priority if you order by August 31, 2016 What is the difference between unrestricted and restricted gifts? An unrestricted gift to Athletics is one which is used to cover the educational expenses of SDSU studentathletes. Priority seating contributions are unrestricted. A restricted gift is designated by the donor for a specific purpose, often through a sport specific group such as the Excellence Fund, Full Court Press Club, or RBI Club. What is the Director s Cabinet? The Director s Cabinet is an exclusive group of business and civic leaders committed to the success of Athletics through private gifts. Director s Cabinet members are entitled to exclusive benefits and activities. Membership requires a $30,000 annual donation, tax deductible minus benefits received. See pages -5 for more information regarding the Director s Cabinet benefits. Does my unrestricted gift to the Club qualify me for priority seating in Qualcomm Stadium and Viejas Arena? Yes! An unrestricted gift to the Club at a giving level associated with priority seating benefits will qualify you for priority seating in designated areas of Qualcomm Stadium and/or Viejas Arena. Required donations vary by seating location and number of seats desired. Is my gift to Athletics tax deductible? Yes! The amount of your deduction equals the gift minus the value of membership benefits received. To qualify for tax deduction that is equal to the full amount of your donation, you must decline all benefits. Gifts made in association with priority seating benefits are subject to the 1988 Tax Law, allowing for 80% deduction after value of all benefits received is subtracted from the original gifts. We recommend you consult with a tax advisor regarding the deductibility of your gift in relation to tickets purchased and benefits received. The Club is the fundraising arm of SDSU Athletics. Gifts in support of the Club s mission will be administered by The Campanile Foundation (TCF). TCF is the 501 (c) 3 non profit organization for San Diego State University.
