Cash/Check
Gifts or season ticket contributions can be paid using cash, credit cards, or check. This can be made by going to AllVols.com, mailing in a check, or calling the Tennessee Fund office and providing information over the phone.
Multi-Year Pledges
Philanthropic commitments can often be paid over multiple years. Please contact the Tennessee Fund for more information.
Gifts of Securities
Appreciated securities are a great way to make a gift to the Tennessee Fund. To do so, you can instruct your broker to transfer securities into the following account:
• DTC Number: 0443
• Pershing, LLC
• Account Number: N7M002366
• Account Name: UT Foundation
If you have an impending stock transfer to us, please notify our office by emailing [email protected] with your name and account number.
Bequests/Living Trusts
Gifts of this nature allow donors to give a dollar amount, a percentage of their estate, or the residuary (the remainder after specified bequests are fulfilled), to UT athletics in their will or living trust. This also allows the opportunity to document a bequest and designate the Tennessee Fund donor point credit to another individual upon the realization of the gift.
Charitable Remainder Trust
You may fund the trust with cash or appreciated assets and receive income for your life and the life of a loved one after the donated asset is sold by the trust. Again, all capital gains taxes are avoided on the sale. You receive a partial income tax deduction based on age and the amount of income received from the trust. Further, the trust assets are removed from your estate.
Donor Advised Funds
You can also create a lasting legacy by naming the University of Tennessee Athletics Department, the beneficiary of the entire account or a percentage of the fund. With a percentage, you can create a family legacy of giving by naming your loved ones as your successor to continue recommending grants to charitable organizations.
Gifts of Appreciated Property
You may make gifts of appreciated stock, mutual funds, or real estate and take an income tax deduction for the gift’s current fair market value. When UT sells the property, all capital gains taxes that would have been owed on the sale are avoided.
Retained Life Estate
You may deed your home, vacation home, or farm to UT Athletics and receive an income tax deduction based on your age and the value of the property. You retain the use of the property for your lifetime, but the asset is removed from your estate. You remain responsible for maintenance, taxes, and insurance on the property.
