The My All Campaign is a $500 million campaign over five years. Philanthropic gifts made to the My All Campaign impact each of Tennessee’s 20 varsity athletic programs by providing championship resources to support student-athletes’ academic and competitive pursuits. Specific facility enhancements are currently targeted for Neyland Stadium and Anderson Training Center, though campaign funds will ultimately allow for strategic investments impacting every athletic program on campus. Gifts are 100% tax-deductible as they are philanthropic gifts not tied to season tickets.

Demand for benefits such as tickets and parking passes created the need for a fair system to be established through which these benefits could be distributed fairly. The Tennessee Fund was created, in part, to help address the needs of our growing donor base. The donor priority point system allows us to track support and award benefits as a way to say thank you for the support. Donor generosity has allowed Tennessee Athletics to be 100% self-funded without financial support from tax or tuition-derived dollars.

Yes. Once you purchase season tickets through the Tennessee Fund, you will have the option to renew the same seats each year. As long as you continue to renew your seats each year and make the requisite per-seat priority fund contribution, you will maintain the priority to purchase your season tickets. Any year of non-renewal releases the tickets and allows for another season ticket holder to purchase them.

Season ticket holders have the first right to renew their season tickets for the following season. If a season ticket holder does not renew their season tickets before the deadline, then the tickets will be dropped off the account. Each spring following the season ticket renewal deadline, the Tennessee Fund will offer a “Relocation & Upgrade Period” where season ticket holders are given the option to relocate to open inventory in non-premium areas. This online process occurs in timeslots based on donor rank and is the best opportunity for a donor to improve their season ticket location. The opportunity for relocation will be extended to as many donors ranks as inventory permits. All premium seating relocations and new sales will be managed by the Tennessee Fund in a separate process. To learn more about improving your donor rank, please click here.

Donor priority points work in a variety of ways but the most important aspect of them is they are the point value that determines Tennessee Fund Donor Rank. The more priority points on an account, the better your Donor Rank is. This can lead to better opportunities for tickets, relocations, seat additions, and postseason opportunities. An account can gain priority points in the following ways: 1 point per $100 donated (includes philanthropic donations & priority fund contributions), 5 points for each year of consecutive years giving, 10 points for being a UT Alum, 50 points for being a UT Letterwinner, and Point Bonuses for Shareholders Society Commitments.

Gifts made to a sport-specific excellence fund directly enhance the lives of the team’s student-athletes by funding team-specific needs and ultimately allowing our student-athletes to achieve their academic and athletic pursuits.
