A LETTER FROM IPTAY CEO Since 1934, IPTAY donors have been the reason Clemson studentathletes have had the opportunity to excel in the classroom and compete at the highest level in athletic competition. The IPTAY brand is what it is today because of the grassroots efforts of the Clemson Family coming together to raise support. IPTAY strives to provide Clemson student-athletes with the total academic and athletic experience. To continue to provide Clemson student-athletes with the best experiences possible, we need you to be part of the IPTAY team. Whether you are new to the Clemson Family or have supported the Tigers for many years, we need you to be ALL IN! Giving levels start at just $60, and we urge you to join IPTAY at whatever level you can to support our student-athletes. As an IPTAY donor, you will receive benefits like a donor card, car decals, My Orange Update emails, Orange: The Experience magazine, ticket and parking benefits and more! Every gift to IPTAY directly supports student-athlete scholarships, new and upgraded facilities, the Nieri Family Student-Athlete Enrichment Center, nutrition services and more. If you are not already a donor, we encourage you to read more on the following pages and visit our website, ClemsonTigers.com/IPTAY, to learn more about how you can make a positive impact in the lives of our student-athletes. The support from IPTAY donors of all ages is what makes the Clemson Family so special. Without the commitment of each IPTAY donor, what we do would not be possible. On behalf of our student-athletes, coaches, staff and athletic administrators, we want to thank our donors for all they have done and continue to do for our program. As we look forward to the year ahead, we are excited about all that our student-athletes will accomplish, and we hope you will be part of that success. If the IPTAY team can ever be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact our office. As always, thank you for your support, and Go Tigers!

DAVIS BABB Chief Executive Officer, IPTAY 1


IS THE HEART OF CLEMSON UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS. NO ONE CAN RESIST THE DRAW OF A PACKED VENUE — Solid Orange — the Clemson Tigers ready to take on their opponent. The band, the roar, the pride, the excitement. It’s all a part of what makes Clemson athletics so special to fans, alumni and student-athletes. In 1934 Clemson had just been defeated 6-0 by The Citadel, and it was not the only defeat that year. Fans were despondent. Joe Davis, Frank Jervey and Peter Hefner asked then-Coach Jess Neely how much money it would take for him to put out a good team. He replied that he thought he could do it with $10,000 a year. The group decided to ask team supporters for $50 a year, but that amount proved to be too much in the middle of the Great Depression. But Rupert Fike met with other Clemson alums and penned the letter to Coach Neely that officially got the ball rolling: “Dear Coach, last night we had a little meeting at my house and organized the IPTAY Club.”

IN THE 21ST CENTURY IPTAY provides millions of dollars in support for 21 varsity sports and various other programs that enrich the lives of Clemson student-athletes. For decades, scholarship funding for student-athletes has been a primary IPTAY funding initiative, and over time the scholarship cost for Clemson student-athletes has increased significantly. This cost also includes room and board, fees, and other expenses to the University tuition costs. It is important to note that the IPTAY scholarship expense varies annually due to a variety of factors, including the number of scholarships awarded, the ratio of in-state versus out-of-state students, summer school attendance, and major-specific fees. In addition to student-athlete scholarships, donations to IPTAY support:

DONATION SUPPORT: 3 Annual scholarships 3 Nieri Family Student-Athlete Enrichment Center 3 Student-athlete enrichment programs 3 New and upgraded facilities 3 IPTAY operations 3 Nutrition services 3 Strength & conditioning

WAYS TO GIVE:

GIVING OPTIONS

HOW TO MAKE A GIFT TO IPTAY

IPTAY ANNUAL

Every gift to IPTAY, no matter the size, makes a difference. And there are a number of ways to make your gift. Your donation may be paid by:

IPTAY annual members are the rock-solid foundation that has served the University for more than 85 years. Every year, nearly 500 Clemson student-athletes — and a number of non-athletes — benefit from scholarships provided by IPTAY.

CASH

These funds also make academic enrichment and life-skills training available for student-athletes and cover annual operating expenses and discretionary initiatives such as capital projects.

CHECK

IPTAY MAJOR GIFTS Clemson depends on the generosity and foresight of donors to build and maintain collegiate athletic excellence. Gifts that build an endowment and support major facilities and large-scale initiatives leave a lasting legacy and are vital to the future and the quality of athletics at the University. Major gifts may be in the form of cash, real estate, securities, gifts-in-kind and any number of other options.

IPTAY GIFT PLANNING Planned gifts are a means of ensuring that the priorities of IPTAY continue for years to come. These visionary gifts ensure that opportunities exist for future generations of student-athletes through bequests, life insurance, charitable gift annuities, charitable lead trusts, charitable remainder trusts and a number of other instruments that continue long into the future.

STOCK GIFTS

SCHEDULED DRAFTS*

CREDIT CARD

*SCHEDULED DRAFTS Paying your IPTAY pledge has never been easier. Have a portion of your IPTAY pledge deducted monthly from your credit card or debit card and forget check writing and stamps. The IPTAY fiscal year is July 1 through June 30. The draft will begin July 1 and will continue on the 1st of each month through June 1 of the next year to complete your pledge by the deadline. If you are interested in learning more about scheduled monthly payments or would like to set up a monthly draft, please contact Robin Lay in the IPTAY business office at 864-656-2977 or robinL@clemson.edu.


MATCHING GIFTS Corporate Matching Gift programs may extend the impact of your gift through funds provided by your employer through your company’s matching gift program. A company match is included in your cumulative giving, which may move your membership to higher levels or increase your capital contribution. Most Corporate Matching Gift programs require your donation to be tax-deductible to receive a match, so not all gifts are eligible. Your company’s human resources department can tell you if your company has a matching gift program and their requirements for your gift to be matched. For more information, contact your company’s matching gift coordinator.

ONCE A TIGER, ALWAYS A TIGER The Block C Club is comprised of former student-athletes as well as coaches, equipment managers, athletic trainers, cheerleaders, mascots and special honorees of the Clemson University Athletic Department.

THE IPTAY

PRIORITY POINTS SYSTEM The IPTAY Priority Points rewards system is another way of rewarding the loyalty of IPTAY donors. Developed in an effort to reward gift amounts and long-term support in the distribution of tickets, seating and parking, Priority Points are also used for tickets to bowl games, the College Football Playoff, the ACC Basketball Tournament and all road games. IPTAY Priority Points are determined by a formula that utilizes both loyalty and contribution levels as shown in the chart below.

IPTAY PRIORITY POINTS = YEARS OF DONATING TO IPTAY + TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS + ANNUAL LEVEL OF GIVING POINTS

$250

$180 $450 $900 $1,700 $2,600 $3,500 $5,000 $6,500 $8,000 $12,000

EXAMPLE: IPTAY donor: 17 years; Total donation to IPTAY: $59,500; Most recent membership level: IPTAY level 17 + $59,500 + 20 = 275 Priority Points $250

SEAT EQUITY PLAN

-237-221 - LEVEL 2 NORTH LEVEL 1 -140-121 NORTH

In 2008, Clemson joined the other top-20 FBS football attendance leaders in adding a preferred seating component to its annual giving program. Under the plan, season ticket holders who give at or above the specified per-seat values qualify for specific seating in Memorial Stadium.

NORTH - LEVEL 2NORTH - LEVEL 220-201 1 - 120-1 01

The initiative has enhanced annual support for student-athletes at Clemson and has given our athletic programs the resources they need to compete at the highest level, both in the classroom and in athletic competition. All season tickets in Memorial Stadium available for purchase require a per-seat donation. Minimum per-seat donations for specific seating in Memorial Stadium can be seen in the adjacent map. These donor requirements have been determined and endorsed by the IPTAY Board of Directors and the Clemson University Athletic Department. SEAT EQUITY PLAN EQUATION: IPTAY SEAT VALUE X NUMBER OF SEATS = REQUIRED IPTAY DONATION As a reminder, the maximum number of season tickets an IPTAY Donor is eligible to purchase each season is determined by your IPTAY annual giving level. Please refer to the chart below for exact quantities. When the initial IPTAY Seat Equity Plan was announced and implemented in 2008 and modified in 2013, one component of the plan permitted periodic marketplace review of the values of each section of seating in Memorial Stadium. The diagram to the right shows the current per-seat donations implemented during the IPTAY 2017 year.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: HOW DOES THE PLAN AFFECT LIFE AND ENDOWMENT DONORS?

Q: WHY IS THE SEAT EQUITY PLAN IMPORTANT?

As was done in 2008 and 2013, the modification of the IPTAY Seat Equity Plan will allow Life donors to purchase the number of seats outlined in their respective Life donor agreements as it pertains to the specific IPTAY giving level. These seats in the Life donor agreement will not be affected. However, seats purchased above and beyond the life donor agreed upon number (included in the agreement) will be impacted by the modification of the IPTAY Seat Equity Plan, similar to the 2008 and 2013 IPTAY Seat Equity Plans.

The preferred seating component within IPTAY is a vital part of the IPTAY Annual Fund. The funds generated by the IPTAY Seat Equity Plan go directly to supporting our student-athletes by way of athletic scholarships, new and upgraded facilities and student-athlete academic support services. These dollars continue to be critical in IPTAY’s efforts to provide the necessary resources to all student-athletes to be top competitors in the classroom and in athletic competition amidst the rising costs associated with intercollegiate athletics.

Q: HOW DOES THE PLAN AFFECT CLEMSON FACULTY AND STAFF MEMBERS?

Q: WILL THE IPTAY SEAT EQUITY PLAN BE REQUIRED BEYOND 2022?

A faculty/staff member will have the same opportunity to maintain current seats as an IPTAY donor. Continuing from the 2013 IPTAY Seat Equity Plan, a current Clemson faculty/staff member who purchases two or more season tickets will receive a $180 credit toward an IPTAY membership, which may be applied to the IPTAY Seat Equity Plan. If the faculty/staff member already maintains an IPTAY donor membership, $180 will be credited/ added to his/her current membership.

Yes. The IPTAY Seat Equity Plan works in conjunction with your annual IPTAY contribution and will be necessary for your season ticket renewal each year. Also, the donation levels and seat values associated with each specific section may be revised to address the future needs of IPTAY and the Clemson University Athletic Department. The IPTAY Board and the athletic department will review the IPTAY Seat Equity Plan each year.

Q: DOES THE PLAN MEAN THAT EVERYONE IN YOUR SECTION PAYS THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY? A misconception when we use the term “equity” is that each IPTAY donor sitting next to another IPTAY donor is donating the same amount as the other. This is true in some cases, but there are many other factors that contribute to this not being exact. Obviously, the quantity of tickets is the main factor, as well as the parking the donors request for their IPTAY annual donation. The per-seat donation that IPTAY requires members to contribute is the minimum donors can contribute to renew their seats. Many IPTAY donors contribute more than the required donation. However, one must consider all of the factors, including parking priority, seat locations and most critically, that each donation is supporting the mission of IPTAY­—supporting Clemson student-athletes through scholarships, facilities and academic support.

Q: DO I HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ANNUAL IPTAY SEAT EQUITY PLAN TO KEEP MY SEASON TICKET LOCATION?

AWAY-GAME & POSTSEASON

TICKET INFORMATION Away-game and postseason tickets are allocated based on IPTAY Priority Points. For some away games, a Priority Point cutoff, as well as ticket limits, may be put in place to give as many IPTAY donors as possible the opportunity to purchase tickets. In the event that the number of orders received for an away game exceeds the available allotment, those who do not meet the point requirement will be notified and refunded the purchase price.

PAYMENT METHODS The Clemson Athletic Ticket Office accepts payment by VISA, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, cash and check. Please make checks payable to CUAD.

Yes. The IPTAY Seat Equity Plan is a requirement for renewal of season tickets in these identified priority locations. Please note all seating areas within Memorial Stadium have an associated per-seat value.

Q: HOW WILL THIS AFFECT MY PARKING ASSIGNMENT? Parking is reassigned on an annual basis using each donor’s annual giving level and priority point total. As donors make a decision to increase their giving to retain seats or to request seat improvements, parking assignments may be affected.

Q: CAN I USE MY EMPLOYER’S MATCHING GIFT PROGRAM TOWARD MY CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE IPTAY SEAT EQUITY PLAN? Yes. If your employer will match a gift to an athletic program, you can use these funds to fulfill the IPTAY Seat Equity Plan contribution. The matching contribution will only be credited to your account when the funds are received by IPTAY.

IPTAY REP VOLUNTEER PROGRAM WHO ARE THOSE DONORS THAT WE ASK TO SERVE? IPTAY REPs, in short, are IPTAY donors that give of their time, in addition to their financial resources, to help IPTAY meet its goals and responsibilities to support Clemson University student-athletes. The REP Volunteer Program focuses on four main pillars: Fundraising, Communication, Stewardship and Donor Engagement. IPTAY REPS come in all donor levels, from Purple to Riggs. Annual donors are eligible to be an IPTAY REP serving a three-year term by: 1. Maintaining an annual membership level at the Purple ($180.00) level or higher. 2.

Without IPTAY support, you might not be sitting in a state-of-the-art stadium, surrounded by other fans in solid orange, cheering on a strong team of Tigers. And across campus, student-athletes in 18 other sports would not be able to take to the field, arena or water proudly wearing the Tiger Paw.


JOIN COMPLIANCE: ASK BEFORE YOU ACT Clemson University continues to have great successes on and off the playing field thanks to your support of Clemson Athletics. However, in order to represent the University in the most positive manner, coaches, staff, student-athletes, alumni, IPTAY members and fans must adhere to the rules and regulations of the NCAA, the ACC and the University. The NCAA requires each member institution to have “institutional control” and to operate its intercollegiate athletics programs in compliance with NCAA rules and regulations. This means that Clemson University is responsible for your actions. Violations of NCAA rules, regardless of your intentions, can jeopardize a student-athlete’s opportunity to attend and compete for Clemson University. Violations also result in severe penalties for the University and the individual booster involved. If you have any questions or believe you have seen a violation of an NCAA rule, please contact Compliance Services at 864-656-1580 or compliance-L@clemson.edu.
