Your commitment to the University of South Dakota has helped us achieve another record year in the Howling Pack, with just over $1.5 million raised for student-athlete scholarships. This is all thanks to your involvement in our events, referrals of new members and your help to “Grow the Pack.” Growth is critical in continuing to provide an excellent experience to our more than 415 student-athletes.

Waive Benefits
Changes in U.S. tax law provide that contributions are non-deductible if a donor “receives (directly or indirectly) as a result of paying such amount the right to purchase tickets for seating at an athletic event in an athletic stadium of such institution.” The USD Foundation’s Board of Directors has determined that Howling Pack contributions that result in membership benefits are non-deductible transactions and will be processed accordingly. Howling Pack donors who elect to waive membership benefits will preserve the charitable nature of their contributions. Donors are encouraged to seek professional counsel to understand the tax consequences of their giving.
If you are interested in preserving the charitable nature of your contribution while positively impacting the lives of our student-athletes, you can opt to waive the benefits of your gift.
About
The Howling Pack is the annual fundraising program of the Athletic Department at the University of South Dakota. The Howling Pack promotes and financially supports the USD Athletic Department and all Coyote athletic teams, while encouraging the development of the student-athlete.
