Charitable Donation Requests
The University at Albany Department of Athletics is pleased to be able to assist charitable events or fundraisers for several worthy causes. Per NCAA rules, it is impermissible for the Department of Athletics to provide donations to a high school or any organization that benefits prospective student-athletes (grades 9-12) through raising money for a high-school's or organization's athletics or other programs. In addition, an institution may not donate to any organization for the purpose of raising funds to provide financial assistance to high-school students to attend the collegiate institutions of their choice. Our standard donation is tickets.
Processing Your Request
Considerations for donations include: type of event, non-profit status, past donations and beneficiary. Approved organizations will receive one of their desired choices. Organizations requesting tickets are eligible for up to four (4) home regular season tickets to a mutually agreed upon game. Game selection will be at the discretion of UAlbany Athletics based on availability. Ticket donations need to be redeemed 48 hours prior to game time as certificates will not be accepted on game day. All donations must be redeemed within the calendar year they were awarded. This request process may take up to 30 days. Please note that we are unable to assist any fundraisers or events which benefit middle/high schools or middle/high school students or will help set up college scholarships/funds, per NCAA regulations.Â
Personal Requests
The University at Albany Department of Athletics, its athletic director, coaches and student-athletes receive numerous autograph requests each year. We regret that we are unable to fill each request. In order to remain compliant with NCAA rules, requests cannot be accepted by UAlbany Boosters, Marketing, Great Danes Athletic Club, Media Relations, Ticket Office, individual sport offices or any other department entity. We cannot accept items for signature, and items will be returned unsigned if sent to departments or individual sport offices. We appreciate your adherence to this policy as it is crucial to the continued success of our coaches and student-athletes.
