Impact of Giving
Yale Athletic Associations supplement the Department budget and
help cover the cost of expenses in the areas of recruiting,
out-of-region travel, prospect visits, equipment, communications,
and other annual team expenses. These contributions provide our
coaches with the resources necessary to attract the best and
brightest to come to Yale. All Association contributions are
considered gifts to Yale. All expenditures of Associations are
governed by departmental policy for compliance with Yale, Ivy
League, and NCAA requirements.
Ways To Give
Yale is supported by alumni, parents, and friends in many ways -
through unrestricted annual giving; capital gifts in support of
priorities such as student aid, faculty research, and facilities;
special reunion contributions; planned gifts; and grants and awards
from corporations and foundations. However you choose to support
Yale - and at whatever level - your generosity is both essential
and truly appreciated. Every gift counts.
