The Hofstra Pride Club is led by a Board of Directors which meets periodically to coordinate fund-raising activities and allocate financial expenditures. The board and its officers work closely with Hofstra University President James M. Shuart and Director of Athletics Harry Royle to determine the needs of the athletic program and successfully meet those needs while building a solid foundation for continued growth. Direct Cash Gifts Direct contributions are the most common method of giving. These gifts are made in the form of cash or checks made payable to Hofstra University. Benefits increase as the size of the gift increases.
Many companies have matching gift programs for contributions made by employees.
The Pride Club qualifies for most matching gift programs. This is an excellent way to double or even triple a gift because the donor receives full credit for the total gift toward Pride Club membership.
