Well, see, I ***** a lot and I'm a member. I was going to post that before, but then I thought maybe that was what you meant. That people thought being a PSC member gave them a right to *****.

I don't know how widely known it is that you can give $50. Doesn't all the literature show a minimum giving level of $200? Of course UNI will probably take any amount someone wants to give.

Also it's not tax deductible for everyone, myself included, and very few employers match gifts. The ones that do tend to employ a lot of people, but it still is very few.

The PSC Brochure shows the lowest donation as $1.

And... Not all those that match provide a match to athletic programs.

Why isn't it tax deductible for you? Just curious as I don't know every angle of the tax law. I thought you could write off everything you give minus the monetary benefit that you receive (roughly). Basically, you have to subtract your season ticket discounts etc.

Tax deductible only if you itemize.

Re: Posters

I don't itemize deductions because I don't have any debt. In order to get over the standard deduction threshold, which keeps going up, I used to concentrate two years worth of property taxes, donations, etc. as much as I could and itemize every other year. For the small amount I was able to get over the standard I've decided that strategy isn't worth the effort and just given up on itemizing.

Re: Posters

i would hope that someones decision to donate would not hinge on tax deductibility.

Re: Posters

My wife and I are dirt poor young parents and we still find a way to contribute.

It's about priorities, UNI athletics are obviously not that important to you if you can't find any little extra to contribute, imo...

Re: Posters

UNI does a poor job of getting the word out about PSC. I am a UNI alum and I have never received anything about PSC. I looked into it myself this year because a friend and I wanted to get good tickets for the WI game and he said that good seats were based on priority level. This is the first year I have donated and I have yet to receive anything about donating except for the random PSC emails (which took forever to receive). I saw the email this week that benefits would be sent out next week, so I hope I get that information..

First of all thank you for joining! Not sure I understand your issue. You joined this year but haven't received anything about donating again? Lots of helpful members on here. Sure we can answer your questions or point you in the right direction. Just not clear what that is at this time.

I'm just making a point that they do a terrible job of advertising or asking for donations and then when you do donate they aren't the best at acknowledging that you have joined or received the donation. The only way I know that they received my donation is 1) the money came out of my account and 2) I get the emails after asking a couple times to put me on the list.

March 2012.. which I realize is in the middle of the year, which is possibly why communication wasn't as great at maybe it usually is. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have donated - I wish I could have as soon as I graduated, but wasn't able to afford it at the time (well, not to the level I wanted - I didn't know about the smaller donations back then).
Look forward to meeting some of you this fall..
Go Panthers!!

But March is the time when they are doing fundraising, so you should be getting communication from people, if only saying thank you.

I always made a point to thank everyone on my list who sent in their pledge.

Re: Posters

Ok.. Back to the original topic.. Just got back to my hotel from the state fair.. Checked out my awesome UNI poster.. I didn't pay attention when it was posted before.. But they weren't even able to put away games on the poster.. The girls handing them out seemed embarrassed.. I do have an extra IOWA poster if anyone wants one.. They actually look really nice..
