I have to make a donation as part of my courtside season ticket package. Can I give to any sport or only to the sport for which I have season tickets?
Any gifts given towards per seat donations (starting 1/1/18) will not be tax-deductible and can only be directed to the Redhawk Fund (not sport specific funds).
How will the tax code changes affect season ticket holders?
The tax code changes passed by Congress has an impact on your philanthropic gifts. This includes the provision in Section 170(I) of the Internal Revenue Code that previously allowed for donations related to priority ticket access for collegiate athletic stadium events to be tax deductible for 80% of the total gift amount. As per the tax code changes, a contribution that involves the right to purchase tickets for seating at our athletic events is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.
At Seattle U, the only season tickets that require a seat related gift are men's basketball courtside seats. If you have questions or concerns, the Seattle U Athletics Development team would be happy to assist you. We can be reached by calling (253) 223-4795 or by emailing redhawkclub@seattleu.edu.
