ATHLETIC DEVELOPMENT Major Gifts Program
The new level of competition in the BIG EAST Conference has required Creighton Athletics to commit additional resources due to the rising costs of scholarships, escalating travel expenses, capital projects and staffing requirements. The new Athletics Major Gifts Program includes a number of new initiatives including the BIG EAST Fund, Creighton Athletic Endowment Fund and the Heritage Society-Creighton University’s planned giving program. The program also features current athletic capital projects that house and support Bluejay student-athletes. Gifts of $25,000 or more allocated to any initiative within the Major Gift Program may qualify for select naming opportunities for facilities, programs or scholarships. Under the University’s 501(c)(3) status, all major gifts made towards Creighton Athletics are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
The new Creighton Athletics BIG EAST Fund represents our proactive response to the Conference’s extraordinary recognition of our athletic program’s excellence. The Fund will provide resources to offset the increase in competition and costs associated with BIG EAST travel and Cost of Attendance ensuring Creighton Athletics upholds a winning tradition on conference and national stages.
Athletic Endowment Fund
Creighton student-athletes, coaches and staff know it takes more than great skills to become an outstanding competitor. It also takes endurance. The Creighton Athletic Endowment Fund will build endurance into Creighton Athletics, creating a perpetual source of support and generating revenue to sustain athletic scholarships.
Heritage Society for Athletics
To pay tribute to those who share the vision of our founders, the Creighton University Heritage Society has been established. To make a planned gift to benefit Creighton Athletics and become a member of the Heritage Society, simply mail a copy of the portion of your will, trust, life insurance policy or other beneficiary designation form pertaining to your bequest to the Office of Estate and Gift Planning.
Capital Projects
Major Gifts can also be made to current capital projects including the Championship Center, Golf Learning Facility, Ryan Athletic Center Players Lounge and the Kitty Gaughan Pavilion Renovation project.
