Annual Giving Phonathon
When student callers for the university's annual giving phonathon call you, you may make your gift or pledge then. When you speak to one of these students, simply let them know that you would like your pledge or credit card gift to go to the Furman Athletics Fund (you can specify your support for a specific team or support student-athlete scholarships by making a gift to the Paladin Scholarship Fund), and we will take care of the rest!

Pledge
Pledge now, pay later! Join the Furman Athletics Fund now with a pledge commitment, and pay any time during the fiscal year (July 1 – June 30). You may pay all at once or break it up into multiple payments.

Monthly Payments
The Athletics Development office can accept automatic payments each month either through a bank draft or credit card payments. For a monthly bank draft, you simply provide us with a copy of a voided check or deposit slip, and we will set up your monthly payments for the amount you choose. If you would like to pay monthly with a credit card, please call the Athletics Development office at 864.294.3469 to provide your credit card information, and your card will be charged monthly for the amount you select. Monthly payments will continue until you request otherwise.

Matching Gifts
Many employers will graciously match contributions that are made to charitable or educational organizations by their employees. If your employer offers a match, the matching contributions will be applied toward your annual membership level in the Furman Athletics Fund. Contact your employer or the Athletics Development office to inquire about whether your company participates in the matching gift program. For more information on submitting a matching gift request, click here. If you are not sure if your employer offers a matching gift, you can check our online database of matching gift programs.

Gifts of Stock
A gift of appreciated stock is a tremendous way of supporting the Furman Athletics Fund while at the same time receiving numerous tax advantages. If you plan to make a gift of stock, please call our office to alert us and consult the stock transfer instructions linked here.

Planned Giving
Consider naming the Furman Athletics Fund as beneficiary of your estate or life insurance policy. Upon the donor's death, a scholarship can be established or a gift can be made to the Furman Athletics Fund. This is an excellent means by which to support Furman Athletics while not having to feel the financial effects now. If you are interested in more information about planned giving for the Furman Athletics Fund, please contact Elizabeth Mobley at 864.294.3491.
