FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS<br />

When should I make or renew my annual contribution?<br />

Financial contributions are accepted any time during the athletics<br />

giving year, which runs from July 1 through June 30. Contributions<br />

should be received by the UI Foundation before June 30 for upcoming<br />

athletics year for football season ticket and parking consideration for<br />

the following year. Please note: football and men’s basketball per-seat<br />

contributions count toward annual I-Club recognition levels.<br />

How do I secure reserved parking for football gamedays?<br />

Season ticket holders at the Silver Hawks level and above ($1,200+<br />

annually) have the opportunity to purchase a football parking pass for<br />

parking near Kinnick Stadium. (Please see page 11.)<br />

How do I make a gift to the Iowa Hawkeyes?<br />

Gifts can be made online through our Give Now button at<br />

jointheiclub.com, by calling the Iowa Hawkeyes Athletics<br />

Development Office at (800) 648-6973 or (319) 467-3410, or by<br />

mailing your gift to the UI Foundation (UI Foundation, Athletics,<br />

P.O. Box 4550, One West Park Road, Iowa City, IA 52244)<br />

How does the Priority Points System work?<br />

The Priority Points System quantifies every I-Club member’s and<br />

season ticket holder’s relationship with UI Athletics by considering<br />

a number of different criteria, including giving to athletics, years of<br />

season ticket purchase, and alumni/letterwinner status.<br />

Is my I-Club gift tax deductible?<br />

80 percent of your I-Club gift is tax deductible because you are<br />

receiving a benefit (valued at 20 percent) from this gift. For more<br />

information, seek the advice of your accountant or tax advisor, or<br />

view IRS section 170(1).<br />

Can I use a company match for my athletics gift?<br />

Often times, yes. Please check with your company’s human resources<br />

department for more information and to review any specific<br />

restrictions within your company’s matching gift program. Matching<br />

gift forms are available through the company providing the matching<br />

gift. Please contact the Hawkeyes Athletics Development Office with<br />

additional questions regarding matching gifts.<br />

What are Priority Points and how are they used?<br />

Our priority points system is a fair and consistent method of<br />

assigning seat locations for football and men’s basketball season<br />

tickets, allowing for football away-game ticket purchase, bowl-ticket<br />

purchase, and other related opportunities.<br />

Can I receive I-Club “credit” for a gift I made to other areas<br />

of the university?<br />

No, only gifts made to the I-Club (or sport-specific development funds)<br />

are eligible for I-Club giving credit. However, gifts made to athletics<br />

campaigns count toward priority.<br />
