Stanford Recreation

Alumni, friends, family, or other organizations may choose to give to the team. See below for guidelines on seeking out and accepting gifts to your team.

Our Director of Sport and Youth Programs works closely with the Development team in DAPER to follow donation guidelines. Thus, each team must work through the CSA for approval and assistance before contacting individuals to ask for donations, especially when approaching alumni or others not directly affiliated with its team. Clubs are encouraged to keep a running database of donor contacts. 

How to Give - Athletics Development

Donations that go through DAPER or the Club Sport Program qualify as tax-deductible and will receive an acknowledgement from DAPER, then money will be deposited to a club’s development account. The Director of Sport and Youth Programs will let club officers of each team know of any donations that come through the Stanford Athletics Development Office. The information will include donor contact information so that the team can send an acknowledgement to the donor. 

Donors can give directly through the Athletics website. The follow steps outline the process:

1. Go to giving.buckcardinal.com
2. Under Direct your gift, please select “Other Stanford Designation” at the end of the list
3. Enter “Club Sports: Roundnet Club Team”
4. Complete personal and credit card information and finalize online gift process
    

For teams that have a development account – whether it be an expendable or endowment account – the funds will be transferred into that account. All other amounts that are not designated will be deposited into the general Club Sports Program development account. Stanford Athletics does NOT keep any percentage of these donations – the entire amount goes to the individual club or Club Sport Program. 

How to Give - University Development

All gifts received outside of the DAPER Development portal must be processed by the Office of Development and will be deposited into a group’s ASSU 2800 - General Account. Teams cannot collect donations directly. 

Donors can give directly through the university’s Office of Development website. The follow steps outline the process:

1. Go to give.stanford.com
2. Under Direct your gift, please select “Other Stanford Designation” at the end of the list
3. Enter “ASSU Club Sports: Roundnet Club Team”
4. Complete personal and credit card information and finalize online gift process

Please contact OSE and the university Office of Development (OOD) for more information about processing gifts through the ASSU banking system. If a gift is deposited into a team’s ASSU account directly, it may be tax-deductible. All gifts of $500 or more processed through the ASSU banking system must be approved by OSE/OOD. Donations into the development accounts through DAPER do not have any approval requirements.
