Our Mission
Why We Need Your Help
The mission of the Razorback Foundation Inc. is to support the athletic endeavors of the
University of Arkansas Razorbacks. The Foundation assists our student-athletes by providing
financial support for scholarships, facilities and various programs that enable them to realize
their dreams of achieving a quality college education while participating in athletics on a
nationally competitive level.
The Razorback Foundation, a separate and self-supporting nonprofit 501(c)(3) entity, serves as
the fundraising arm of the University of Arkansas Athletic Department.
SUPPORTING
STUDENT3
Through contributions from our members, who understand the need and cost of maintaining
a premier athletic program, we are able to provide scholarship support for more than 460
student-athletes, funding to support facility enhancements and financial assistance to other
programs designed to elevate student-athletes and Arkansas athletics.
Being an active member of the Razorback Foundation is not only an investment in the athletic
program and the University of Arkansas, it also unlocks many special benefits to you. Those
include, but are not limited to, priority seating and parking for athletic events, priority points,
and invitations to exclusive member-only events. You can find additional information about all
available Foundation benefits on page 5.

LETTER OF INTENT
Outlining Your Contributions for the 2014-15 Athletic Season
In 2013, the Razorback Foundation implemented a Letter of Intent to help streamline the giving process. The
Letter of Intent summarizes your financial commitment to ALL RAZORBACK ATHLETIC PROGRAMS for the 2014-15
season and offers the option to establish automatic payment plans.
The Letter of Intent is sent to all current Foundation members every January. Blank Letters of Intent are available
online at razorbackfoundation.com, by calling 479.443.9000 or via email at [email protected].
Current members, and those who wish to join the Razorback Foundation, are asked to complete the Letter
of Intent and return it to the Razorback Foundation by March 31, 2014. Payment deadlines are listed on page 17.
There are several ways to make your 2014-15 commitment:
1. Complete the Letter of Intent in its entirety, print, sign and return to the Razorback Foundation
2. Online at razorbackfoundation.com (partial payment must be included with each pledge made online)
3. Over the phone by calling 479.443.9000 or 877.436.0013
Important Note – To maintain seat locations in all venues, members must meet or exceed the previous year’s
total Annual Fund contribution*, regardless of the number of season tickets purchased in each sport. Current
Foundation members are encouraged to keep this in mind when completing their 2014 Letter of Intent.

the football game in Little Rock, and do not contribute to any other sport(s), will be permitted to drop their total
annual fund contribution to the minimum seat values listed on page 14 and retain their seats. A minimum gift of

your point total or rank. Rank is defined as your point total
within your membership class. Point totals will increase
based on the criteria below:
Annual Fund Gifts - 1 point for every $100 received
Consecutive Years of Giving to the Annual Fund - 5 points
for each consecutive year
Other Gifts - 1 point for every $250 received
Former Razorback Student-Athlete - 25 points (one time)
Important Note - Priority Points will only be awarded for
payments received, not pledges.

Capital gifts are contributions made outside your Annual Fund donation and play a pivotal
role in the enhancement, construction and maintenance of first-class athletic facilities.

help Razorback Athletics. Special benefit rules apply to gifts of a deferred nature.

provide for the future of our student-athletes. An endowment provides a perpetual source
of financial support for athletic scholarships.
