A donor's fund drive year is from anniversary month to the following year's anniversary month. Contribution is expected within the anniversary month. Each donor who does not pay in full in their anniversary month will need to designate a payment plan. If you own a business or are in a position to influence corporate decisions, consider the possibility of your company doing some of your donating. Corporations can make contributions of up to 10 percent of their net income and have such gifts tax deductible.
Business inventories designated as gifts are tax deductible.
If your corporate income tax rate is higher than your individual rate, corporate contributions will produce greater tax savings. The Mississippi State University Bulldog Club uses a ticket priority plan and qualifying point system to complement the athletic department's computerized ticket office. The point system, which works within the framework of existing Bulldog Club priority levels, assigns points to individuals interested in purchasing season tickets to MSU football, men's basketball and baseball. The point system was adopted to create a fair measuring tool in assigning seats at those venues. For example, the individual in the Bulldog Club's Maroon Division who accumulates the most points under the point system will be seated first in that giving category.
