YOU BENEFIT BY SUPPORTING TAF
Although TAF has established an attractive benefit package, the main benefit received from your contribution may be the satisfaction gained from assisting deserving young student-athletes in their pursuit of a quality education.
Tax Deduction:
Contributions to TAF are tax deductible to the extent that your contribution exceeds fair market value of any benefits received. Please consult your tax advisor concerning the IRS interpretation.
Preferred Parking:
Parking benefits are available to TAF members who contribute a minimum of $500 and who purchase season tickets to FHSU athletic events.
Tiger Information:
TAF contributors who provide an e-mail address will receive updates on Tiger Athletics throughout the year electronically. Be sure to include your email address on the form.
METHODS OF GIVING Outright Gifts:
Gifts to TAF are recorded through the FHSUÂ Foundation and credited toward the corresponding club.
Matching Gifts:
Many companies have a matching gift program for contributing employees. You will receive full credit for the total gift on your TAF membership.
Scholarships:
TAF members can designate their gift to general athletic scholarships or sport-specific scholarships. To create a new scholarship, contact the FHSU Athletic Department. Whether endowed or annual, honorary and memorial gifts are a fitting tribute to someone’s life and accomplishments.

Tiger Scholarship Fund Drive
Tiger Athletic Fund members provide financial assistance in direct support of Fort Hays State University’s 16-sport program of competitive athletics at the NCAA Division II level. TAF is dedicated to the philosophy and spirit of intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the higher education process. TAF assists the Tigers in elevating their programs to meet the exciting challenges of the MIAA conference and the NCAA.
Tiger coaches need the continued support of TAF members to ensure the future growth of athletics at FHSU. The support of alumni and friends of the university provides more than just a financial boost, adding the necessary encouragement to make success on the playing fields possible.
Private support through TAF bridges the gap between status quo and the athletic excellence that brings championships, quality athletes, academic achievement, and community and national interest.
When Tiger coaches recruit a student-athlete to FHSU, they are asking him or her to make a commitment to excellence in a sport and in the classroom. Loyal Tiger supporters uphold that commitment through their annual gift to TAF.
