| This external giving opportunity has been a part of Eagle athletics since they
began in 1974. The program has gone through some minor changes through the years,
but the focus has always been to help with special department needs.
The EAA, which is run through and controlled by the Director of Athletics, has been
structured to offer several different levels of giving opportunities so that the giver feels
comfortable in the level they choose. It is important to understand that the giving level
chosen allows for the opportunity to give 50% of the level amount to a designated
athletic program. These funds will enhance the collegiate experience of our
student-athlete in their specific programs as well as department wide financial support.
Givers can choose a variety of ways to show their support. These ways
include: Direct Contribution, Matching Gifts, Gifts of Securities, and Life Income
Gifts.
This unified giving program is designed to benefit both individual sports and the athletic
deparment as a whole. The 50% option allows for the individual programs to gain external funds
outside of their normal operating budget.
