Naming Opportunities

Gifts that qualify for naming opportunities are a meaningful and lasting way to impact the lives of present and future Cardinal athletes. The gift can serve as an avenue for paying tribute to a loved one or deserving organization. Naming opportunities are available for endowed scholarships, endowed chairs and professorships, capital projects and other unrestricted endowments.

Endowments

Some of the most effective and far-reaching gifts are those given to create an endowment. Endowed funds are critical to the financial stability of Cardinal athletic programs. The present and future revenue streams that endowed funds generate allow Fond du Lac athletics the stability and support it needs to maintain the athletic programs in the Fond du Lac school district.

An endowment is based on an initial gift of substantial size that in turn provides annual income earnings generated by investment of the principal. With an endowment fund, your gift is invested with other gifts to maximize its value. Annual amounts are distributed to the program you have designated, while the fund principal remains to provide support in perpetuity.

Securities & Stocks

Gifts of appreciated property have been considered the “best value” in charitable giving. That is because there are multiple benefits to making a gift of this type. In addition to a charitable contribution tax deduction, you generally are able to avoid paying capital gains tax on the increase in value of the assets.
