Making an Impact

There are many ways in which you to make an impact on Kennesaw State Athletics. Gifts to The Owls Fund are most commonly made using cash, check, or credit card. However, donations of personal property, goods or services, real estate or appreciated securities are unique and acceptable ways through which you may support our athletic programs.

Outright and Planned Giving

Outright Gifts

Gifts to The Owls Fund are recorded through and acknowledged by the Kennesaw State University Athletic Association (KSUAA). Gifts to the athletics program typically are cash gifts, but contributions of personal property, goods or services, real estate or appreciated securities can mean substantial support for Kennesaw State. The Owls Fund has the ability to accept monthly credit/debit card drafts as well as payroll deductions for employees of Kennesaw State University.

Please make all checks payable to Kennesaw State University Athletic Association or KSUAA. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express.

Planned Gifts: Bequests and Life Income Trusts

You can qualify now for high levels of recognition within The Owls Fund by making the Kennesaw State University Athletic Association/one of our athletic programs a beneficiary in your will or by setting up a life income trust with us. Making a substantial gift of this kind may provide donors with significant income and estate tax savings.
To inquire about planning giving, please contact Padraic McMeel, Associate Athletics Director for External Operations at 770-794-7791 or pmcmeel@kennesaw.edu.

Honorary and Memorial Giving

Honorary and Memorial Gifts

Honorary and memorial gifts are a fitting way to pay tribute to someone's life and accomplishments while strengthening the Kennesaw State Athletics program. Several scholarship funds have been endowed to perpetuate an individual's name.
If you are interested is creating a scholarship fund or making an honorary/memorial gift, please contact Padraic McMeel, Associate Athletics Director for External Operations at 770-794-7791 or pmcmeel@kennesaw.edu.

Gift-in-Kind

Gift-in-Kind

Gifts of goods or services provide great financial assistance by reducing the operating expenses of the Kennesaw State Department of Athletics. Those who make in-kind donations will receive a tax deduction equal to the fair market value of the gift. All gifts-in-kind must be approved by KSUAA before being accepted.

If you are interested in making an in-kind contribution, please complete this form and/or call The Owls Fund at 770-423-6995.

Matching Giving

Matching Gifts

Many organizations recognize provide support for higher education through individual matching gift programs. You or your spouse may work for one of the 8,800 corporations and businesses that match private gifts from employees to educational institutions. Each company has different deadlines, requirements and instructions, but the benefit of a matching gift can be significant for our athletics program. Gifts are often matched at a dollar-for-dollar rate. However, some companies offer programs that match at double, triple – and in some cases – quadruple the rate of the employee contribution. Directors, retirees and spouses of employees may also be eligible for a match.
It is your responsibility to follow your company's specific guidelines for securing a matching gift. Any corporate match received by KSUAA will be added to your gift credit and will impact your Owls Fund giving level.
