Ticket prices, however, are not part of the tax deduction. Well, first of all, that friend or relative has to be willing to move. Secondly, if this is agreed then you need only submit your donations together with a note requesting that your seats be together . If you are a new donor and give an amount greater than the minimum priority amount then you will have a greater chance of getting tickets. New and existing donors increase their priority for away games when they give greater amounts .
Some employers match employee contributions to charitable organizations.
Some even match at rates up to 3-1 so check with your personnel department. My company only matches academic scholarships. Unfortunately from 1999 on only companies which match the athletic scholarships will be accepted. Donors prior to 1999 may still submit forms of academic nature. You can now make your contributions monthly .
