Donating to TAF(Best way to maximize points)

Just donate $100, unless you are already a member which someone correct me if I'm wrong but you cant get any more points unless its over $1000 you donate.

Donate $110 per year, minimum. The extra $10 give you a tiny bump over the people that are just giving $100 per year.

When you start making more money, try to give $5000 one year and that will give you a big bump.

Here's the TRUE answer:

1. Make a $100 donation TODAY --- specify that it is for 2011 membership.

2. After January 1, 2012 make a second $100 donation and specify that it is for 2012 membership.

3. Make the additional $100 donation to a TAF fundraiser that pays 2 pts/$1000 donatated ---- do so before 3/31/2012 to get credit in the 2012 season ticket selection.

If you have not donated anything to this point -- I would not recommend signing up for the waiting list --- you'll be pissing away $10 --- but you can do that too --- sign up for the season ticket waiting list and pay $10 per year to be on the list. IF there are away games that they do not sell out the full allotment to season ticket holders you may have the opportunity to purchase tickets prior to sales to the general public.

I got that opportunity for the UNC game to open last season and bought 4 through LSU in advance.... good seats too. But none were available for the Oregon game this season .... it depends on season ticket holder requests.

Agreed -- but I was focused on his "limited funds" to contribute comment.

So I gave him the "formula" for maximizing his points with ONLY $300 to donate total.

Another bit of advise I'd give..... find out if the company you work for matches charitable contributions.... if so... make sure you donate through them or send in the appropriate forms.... that'll double your points on the philanthropic side of things too.

Then if at some point you happen to find some money to donate a wad to TAF --- you can get the bonus points associated with a $5000 donation with "only" $2500 out of your own pocket.

Done all that for over 10 years and Priority is good enough to get BCSNC tickets

My actually ranking has gone from below 1,000 to right above 1,500 despite giving more $ every year.

Somewhere since the 2007 BCSNC, we have a group of BIG $$ dropping in to jump in priority.

However, the rankings only matter if you can jump below 750, which is the level to go from 2 to 4 bowl and away tickets. Not sure but it may take a $20k philanthropic donation??

5k would have given you 52 points and you would have made the cut for 2 tix

??

Given plenty and never got many points over the years

Where is the link to how it definitely works/

I recall asking abt the 5k and it was lower then 10 abt 2 years ago.

Been giving to TAF for over 12 years and ranking is lower??

Look on Taf website, spells it out for you

5k donation outside of your required seat donation nets you 20 pts per year. My dad has been doing it for years

7 bonus
3 yearly
2 per thousand = 10

Thanks again for all the help with this, I donated $100 for a 2011 Gold Membership. If my math is right, I should have 3.1 points whenever the donation goes through.

3 Bonus Points for donating $100 or more
.1 points for the $100 in the fund

Is that correct?
