Dear Stanford Athletics community, 

Student-athletes come to the Farm from all over the world  with a shared goal -- to pursue excellence in the classroom and compete at the very highest level. When you make a gift to the Buck/Cardinal Club, a sport-specific annual fund, or Home of Champions fund, you make the student-athlete experience possible!

As college athletics continues to evolve, Stanford Athletics Annual Giving is more important than ever and essential to our continued legacy of success. The dedicated commitment and increased investment from donors like you is what makes Stanford the Home of Champions.

Every gift to the Buck/Cardinal Club, sport of your choice, or Home of Champions fund provides critical and immediate support that directly impacts the lives and experiences of Stanford student-athletes. Explore this page to learn more about the different ways you can make an impact. 

On behalf of our student-athletes and coaches, thank you for your support of Stanford Athletics! 

Sincerely, 

Adam Schneberger | Executive Associate Athletics Director, Development

Q: Is my gift tax-deductible?

A: Yes, philanthropic gifts to the Buck/Cardinal Club and the Home of Champions Fund are 100 percent tax-deductible. Priority seat contributions in conjunction with an athletics ticket purchase are non-deductible due to the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act.

Q: Can my gift to the Buck/Cardinal Club count toward my undergraduate reunion class gift?

A: Yes, gifts to the Buck/Cardinal Club count toward your undergraduate reunion class giving total. Reunion gifts can be made as either a one-time gift or a five-year pledge.

Q: Can my company match my gift:

A: If your company is eligible, request a matching gift form from your employer, complete and sign it, and send it by mail. We'll do the rest. If you have questions, please reach out to our gift matching team at stanfordmatchinggifts@lists.stanford.edu or go to giving.stanford.edu.
