Pledges
Establishing a pledge is a great way to plan your philanthropic giving to athletics and increase priority points. Pledges can be paid over five years and priority points for the full amount of the pledge will be awarded up front with a signed gift agreement form. For more information about establishing a pledge, please contact an Athletics Development team member here.
 
Gift-in-kind*
In lieu of monetary contributions, ZAG members may donate products or services that offset expenditures of the Athletic Department. These gifts must have prior approval. If accepted, fair market value is credited as a contribution.
 
Not able to attend the game? Don't let your tickets go to waste! Return your tickets to Gonzaga Athletics and increase your priority point standing. Men's & Women's Basketball season ticket holders receive tax-deductible gift credit and any resulting priority point increase for the face value of each ticket returned to the Gonzaga Ticket Office. To return your tickets, fill out this form or email ticketexchange@gonzaga.edu and indicate which game(s) and the section, row(s), and seat number(s) of the ticket(s) you would like to return. The barcodes to your tickets will be deactivated and new tickets will be printed by the Ticket Office.
 
Deferred or Planned Gifts*
Leave a lasting legacy at Gonzaga Athletics with a planned gift through your estate. Planned gifts offer creative, flexible strategies for your giving and can have a tremendous impact on our programs. To learn more, visit the Universities planned giving site here or contact an Athletics Development team member here.
 
Matching gifts*
Many companies sponsor matching gift programs that increase the impact of employees gifts to charitable organizations. ZAG members who utilize this program will receive credit for both the initial contribution and the match in their priority points.
