I am so thankful to our donors for their “contributions and support. Their gifts
have allowed us to achieve greatness as an institution, and continue to help us pursue our goals as individuals and as an athletic community. Their support fuels us as One Tennessee. —Hannah Mabry

Since coming to Tennessee, I’ve become “close with student-athletes competing for all of our programs. Knowing that, after I graduate, I will always have family and be welcomed back to the University is what makes us One Tennessee. —Brian Randolph
”
The Tennessee community extends “way past Neyland Drive and Cumberland
Avenue. The Tennessee community consists of people who love the Big Orange across this nation and even internationally. We want to represent all those people the best that we can athletically, academically, and by volunteering our time to serve others in our community. Our community is One Tennessee. —Isabelle Harrison
”
Like any freshman, coming to “Tennessee from a long distance away
was intimidating, and I had to make a transition. I quickly found support from my Tennessee family and I couldn’t imagine anywhere I would rather be. Knowing that everyone here has my back makes us One Tennessee. —Josh Richardson

There is no ‘I’ in Tennessee, and that’s why “we are all part of the same team. When one team excels, everyone here celebrates their achievement. As each sport achieves success, the department as a whole shows its school pride. We are not 20 different teams comprising our department, we are One Tennessee. —AJ Simcox
”
It is great to look into the stands and “see the faces of donors, community
members, and fellow student-athletes. Knowing that everyone in the stadium supports us and rallies around us in pursuit of our goals is the meaning behind One Tennessee. —Rainey Gaffin

These gift amounts do not guarantee seats in Neyland Stadium. The listed annual donation levels are to provide
new Tennessee Fund donors with an idea of the approximate amount required to sit in a specific section, based upon the 2013 season. All amounts are listed as a donation per pair of seats and allow the donor to renew the same seats each year if the contribution is made annually. Seating locations are subject to change as needed due to future renovations of Neyland Stadium. In addition, the cost of season tickets may vary on an annual basis.

Away Game Tickets As a benefit of membership, Tennessee Fund donors receive first priority for away game tickets. Demand for some games will exceed demand for others, varying the number of donors able to receive tickets for each game. Away game ticket quantities are determined by giving category, and seat assignments are made in relation to donor rank. The number of tickets eligible for purchase for each game is indicated on the season ticket application. Donors eligible to pre-order away game tickets should do so when renewing their season tickets. In the case that demand exceeds supply, donors will be refunded.

In an effort to distribute away game tickets in an equitable manner, the Tennessee Fund places high priority on donor rank during the assignment process. Therefore, the number of tickets a person can purchase is determined by his or her Tennessee Fund rank and giving level. Please remember donor rank is determined by points accrued from contributions made and consecutive years of giving (see page 29 for information on the priority point system). If you have questions about your ranking, the point system, or the away game assignment process, please contact the Tennessee Fund office at (865) 974-1218.

They were given a one-time point award for those gifts based on a similar scale. Moving forward, gifts must be made directly to the Tennessee Fund in order to improve point total and rank. The Tennessee Fund ranks donors four times annually. The donor with the most accumulated points is ranked number 1, the next highest point total is ranked number 2 and so on. Consecutive years of giving points are withdrawn from a donor account if membership is not renewed annually. Regardless of rank, a donor’s annual gift must be made in order to receive the opportunity to purchase or renew priority tickets or parking.

2014 Guidebook
Under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), the amount of a contribution that is deductible for federal income tax purposes is limited to the excess of the amount contributed over the value of any goods or services provided to the donor by the University. The Athletic Department will notify you as to the value of any such items. Under current IRC provisions, no more than 80 percent of an amount paid to or for the benefit of an institution of higher education may be treated as a charitable contribution if, as a result of the payment, the donor receives the right to purchase tickets for seating at an athletic event in an athletic stadium at the institution. You should consult your tax advisor to determine whether these provisions apply to you. If you choose to waive all applicable benefits, you must sign a written waiver at the time you make your Tennessee Fund donation.
