Gifts-in-Kind Gifts of service or items (food and beverage, athletic equipment, printing, and air travel, etc.) that would normally be purchased by the UW Athletic Department are considered gifts-in-kind, and are always appreciated. Subject to university approval and IRS regulations, the value of the contribution is credited to your account. Tax Information All contributions to Wisconsin Athletics are considered gifts to the University of Wisconsin and are credited at full value for purposes of the donor's gift record at the University of Wisconsin Foundation. A contribution that entitles the donor to purchase tickets is 80 percent deductible as a charitable contribu- tion for income tax purposes, according to IRS Code, Section 170(l). Consult your tax advisor for more information. In addition, the IRS has ruled the 80 percent portion of your contribution is only tax deductible to the extent that it exceeds the value of any additional benefits you receive. Individuals making contributions will have their gift processed and tax receipt issued within two weeks from the UW Foundation. Waiver of Benefits For 100 percent tax deductibility of your contribution, you must decline your right to receive any benefits at the time you make your contribution. Note: Contributions received in the Wisconsin Athletic Development Office are processed upon receipt. Contributions made for priority seating benefits will be credited to the ticket holder of record.
