Annual Giving

Ways to fund your annual gift to the Red Raider Club: Cash Gifts

The easiest way to contribute is through an outright cash gift. The Red Raider Club accepts the following:

• Cash – Delivered in person, or via money order (Please do not mail cash.)
• Check – Personal or cashier’s checks welcomed
• Credit or Debit Card – Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover.
• Bank Draft
• Electronic Check
• Donate now online!
• Payroll Deduction (TTU employees)

For your convenience, the Red Raider Club can set up automatic credit card charges or bank drafts toward your membership. These can also be renewed each year until you tell us to modify or cancel your automatic payments. This allows you to stay at your preferred giving level from year to year without receiving statements or remembering to make your donation each year.

Please mail donations to: Red Raider Club

Matching Gifts Double – or even triple – the impact of your gift to the Red Raider Scholarship Fund! Employer Match Programs

Many organizations offer a “matching gifts” component to their philanthropy program to support the causes that matter most to their employees. You can take advantage of your employer's philanthropy program and decide where part of the funds go by submitting a matching gift form with your donation to the Red Raider Scholarship Fund. It’s easy to do:

1. Determine if your employer matches qualifying donations. Check now »
2. Print out your employer’s matching gift form, if posted online, using the link above.

If your employer’s matching gift form is not posted online, please contact your employer’s human resources department or search on your company's intranet. Some companies use an online submission process in which they will send verification to you and the non-profit and others use a form that must be printed and filled out, then submitted to the non-profit for verification.

All Red Raider Club donations are processed through the Texas Tech Foundation. Please designate “Texas Tech Foundation” as the recipient organization when filling out a matching gift form or request. The designation, purpose, or program will be The Red Raider Scholarship Fund. Texas Tech Foundation's EIN number is: 75-6043842.

In addition, most companies with matching gift programs will match to the athletic scholarship fund while some will not.

For assistance with matching gift policies or to assist you with this process, please contact the Red Raider Club at (806) 742-1196, toll free at 1-877-554-3850 or email us: RRC@ttu.edu.

Non-Cash Gifts Securities, Stocks, and Bonds

The Texas Tech Foundation accepts gifts of securities, stocks and bonds on behalf of the Red Raider Club. In many cases, an outright gift of appreciated securities can entitle the donor to an income tax charitable deduction and may avoid capital gains tax.

Real Estate

Consider donating your personal residence, second home, income-generating property, or vacant land to benefit Texas Tech Athletics. For a personal residence or vacation home, you may make a gift of property and reserve the right to occupy it for life and/or for the life of your spouse.

Personal Property

Personal property of value can also be donated to Texas Tech Athletics. Examples of such gifts include, but are not limited to, artwork, rare books, valuable collectibles and other items with a tangible value. You may also donate intangible personal property such as copyrights, patents and mineral rights, yielding continual income to support Texas Tech Athletics.

Please consult with your financial advisor or tax consultant for specific tax benefits regarding donation of real estate, personal property, securities, stocks and bonds.
