Gifts that are sent via mail should be sent to: The Sooner Club 1185 Asp Avenue, Room 150, Norman, OK 73019

Checks should be made payable to the OU Foundation

Philanthropic commitments of $10,000 or more made to capital projects are able to be pledged and paid out over a 2-5 year period.  For example, a pledge of $10,000 could be paid with equal installments of $2,000 over a 5 year period. This allows for great flexibility to the donor, provides additional championship priority points up front and allows OU Athletics to count on those payments when pursuing facility projects. For more information on making a pledge to a capital project, please contact your Sooner Club Representative or our office today. 

Philanthropic gifts to the Sooner Club and OU Athletics can be made in the form of a stock transfer. Please contact your Sooner Club Representative or our office to ensure that your gift is allocated appropriately.

Taxpayers age 72 or older may make a qualified charitable distribution (“QCD”) of up to $100,000 per year from an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”) directly to the OU Foundation without incurring income tax on the withdrawal.[1]

?The tax exclusion applies to traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs only. Other forms of retirement plans such as 401(k), 403(b), defined benefit and contribution plans, profit-sharing plans, Keoghs and employer-sponsored SEPs, and SIMPLE plans are not eligible.
 
Note that a QCD gift from an IRA cannot be used for seating priority gifts.

Please contact your Sooner Club Representative or our office to ensure that your gift is allocated appropriately.
 
[1] Make sure to consult your tax advisor if you wish to make a QCD from your IRA in the same year you make an IRA contribution, as limitations may apply.

A planned gift is the ultimate way to leave a legacy with OU Athletics and make an impact on our student-athletes for generations to come. 

Donors can plan a gift to OU Athletics when creating a will, drawing estate plans or declaring beneficiaries on insurance policies. IRAs or Pensions can be transferred to OU Athletics, eliminating a double or triple taxation a heir could be subject to. A charity, such as OU Athletics, will receive 100% of the funds at no tax cost. Donors will also enjoy tax deductions when naming OU Athletics as a beneficiary of an insurance policy.

Notifying OU Athletics of these plans now can ensure that the donor’s intended use of the gift is properly stewarded.
