BENEFITS

* The Frog Club Donor Rewards levels do not include gifts made to any sport-specific

Club Golf Tournaments (Coody Tournament and Frog Club Classic).

Page 3: 2014 Frog Club Donor Rewards Program

TCU’s fiscal year runs from June 1 to May 31. When you make an athletics related gift between June 1 and May 31, you qualify for benefits in the following fiscal year. $100 Frog Club memberships are fulfilled immediately and remain active for one calendar year from the time the gift is made. If you wish to decline benefits please notify the TCU Frog Club at the time you make your gift.

HOW THE FROG CLUB DONOR REWARDS PROGRAM WORKS All athletics contributions made during one fiscal year count towards benefits in the following fiscal year (TCU’s fiscal year runs from June 1 to May 31). In other words, on June 1 of every year, your donor rewards level will be determined for the upcoming fall and spring athletics seasons.

* People who receive memo-credit for gifts from a tax-exempt private foundation, corporate foundation, charitable trust, or donor-advised fund may not receive anything other than incidental benefits for those gifts. “Incidental” benefits are benefits having no market value, such as recognition or an award of some kind. Tangible benefits like priority points, special access, preferred seating, donor rewards, etc., are prohibited.

DONOR REWARDS FAQS

THANK YOU

WHEN WILL I BE NOTIFIED OF MY NEW FROG CLUB DONOR REWARDS LEVEL? Since Frog Club Donor Rewards levels are determined on June 1 of each year, you will be mailed a notification letter stating your rewards level shortly thereafter.

DO THE FROG CLUB DONOR REWARDS LEVELS REPRESENT MY TOTAL ATHLETICS GIVING? No. The donor rewards levels are calculated annually based on your giving during the fiscal year only.

HOW DO I KEEP TRACK OF THESE BENEFITS FOR TAX PURPOSES? The Frog Club will mail you a summary of benefits for which you have qualified during the calendar year in January. Please present the notification to your tax advisor upon receipt.

DO I HAVE TO ACCEPT THE BENEFITS I HAVE QUALIFIED FOR? No. After your donor rewards level is established, you will have the opportunity to decline any benefit by responding directly to your donor rewards status notification. In January, you will still receive a notice of the benefits for which you have qualified.

WHEN WILL I RECEIVE THE BENEFITS I HAVE QUALIFIED FOR? Depending upon the season in which the benefits are fulfilled, you will receive them shortly after your donor rewards level has been established.

HOW DOES THE DONOR REWARDS PROGRAM WORK? Example: TCU donor makes a football parking gift of $2,000, a Football Scholarship Seating contribution of $500 and gives an additional $2,500 to an endowed scholarship for a total of $5,000 in Fiscal Year 2014. In Fiscal Year 2015, TCU donor qualifies for all benefits and has the opportunity to take advantage of all the benefits in the Bob Lilly Circle at the $5,000 level.

It is difficult to overstate the significance your financial support has on the overall success of TCU Athletics and TCU student-athletes.

Whether you are providing student-athlete scholarship support through your annual contribution to the Frog Club, contributing towards an endowed scholarship that is annually awarded to a deserving student-athlete recipient, or making a gift to a capital project, such as the Amon G. Carter Stadium Renovation, every

dollar you provide ensures that our student-athletes have the scholarship assistance needed to attend TCU and have the opportunity to compete in world-class facilities at the highest level.

Thank you for your continued support of TCU Athletics!
