University of North Carolina Ashville Athletics
The best way to support UNC Asheville Athletics annually and make an impact on every team is by donating to Bulldog Club, the primary unrestricted scholarship fund of UNC Asheville Athletics. Annual donations made to the Bulldog Club help provide our student-athletes with a championship experience in the classroom and in competition through scholarships, facility enhancements, and programmatic support. Any charitable gift made over the course of the membership year to the Bulldog Club qualifies you to become a “member” for that membership year.
Membership Year:
July 1 - June 30
Qualifying Contributions:
Any charitable gift made over the course of the membership year (July 1 – June 30) to the Bulldog Club fund (formerly known as "Bulldog Athletics Fund") qualifies you to become a “member” for that membership year.
Membership Benefits:
Becoming a member of the Bulldog Club supports all UNC Asheville student-athletes and qualifies you for exclusive benefits. Unless applied to future membership years/campaigns, your contributions made during the current membership year count towards that year's total giving and qualifies you for associated benefits for that giving level (See "Levels & Benefits Chart"). The fair market value of the benefits members receive are subtracted from the tax-deductible portion of the donation and will be reflected as such in the year-end tax receipting.

Gifts in Kind
Not all gifts to the university are monetary. Sometimes donors have the means to provide goods or services that have financial value but are non-cash. Our staff can help determine the value of your donated goods or services and you will receive gift credit with UNC Asheville. You can learn more on this gifts in-kind form.

Donor Advised Funds
When making a gift via a Donor Advised Fund, please direct your gift to UNC Asheville Foundation EIN: 56-6002370. Gifts made to Bulldog Club from a donor advised fund do not qualify for benefits.
IRA or Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD)
The Bulldog Club is qualified to accept charitable IRA rollovers from donors aged 70½ or older with qualifying IRAs. Additionally, the donor cannot receive benefits for this type of gift. If you are sending payment directly from your IRA, according to IRS regulations, the payment must be a deductible gift in order to be eligible for QCD treatment. Gifts where the donor receives a benefit in return are not deductible per IRS Regulations Code Section 170(l). Please consult your tax advisor for more information. To initiate, please contact your IRA administrator.
Electronic Fund Transfer
Electronic/Wire transfers allow you to transfer money from one bank account directly to another without any paper money changing hands. To learn more about making an electronic fund transfer to UNC Asheville, please contact Jill Doub, Director of Advancement Services, at (828) 250-3988 or at jdoub@unca.edu
Endowments
While cash gifts for current use are vitally important, endowments are the bedrock of all great universities. Once fully funded, your gift produces annual income to support the endowment’s purpose for years to come. Endowments provide certain, steady support in perpetuity.
Funds invested in UNC Asheville Athletics endowments help to offset the scholarship costs for our student-athletes and make a big bottom-line impact for our program.
Please contact Athletics Development staff at BulldogClub@unca.edu or Jill Doub, Assistant Director of Advancement Services, at (828) 250-3988 or at jdoub@unca.edu to learn more about our endowment types and endowment minimums.
