Tiger Athletic Foundation is excited to announce a first-of-its-kind agreement to streamline the giving pathway for LSU supporters. TAF Services Corporation (TAFSC), a newly created subsidiary of Tiger Athletic Foundation, has entered into a paid services agreement with Bayou Traditions, the Official Collective of LSU Athletics, to provide fundraising services on behalf of the collective.
This collaboration between TAFSC and Bayou Traditions is being launched after extensive consultation among both organizations, LSU Compliance, donors and key stakeholders, with a goal of promoting customer service, convenience and the opportunity to receive priority points. By joining forces, TAFSC and Bayou Traditions are creating a single platform to manage all dollars given in support of LSU Athletics. LSU supporters can now log in to their TAF/LSU ticket account and will now have the added convenience to make contributions directly to Bayou Traditions, benefiting LSU student-athlete NIL opportunities.
In addition to providing streamlined options for supporting LSU Athletics through one central and convenient location, this innovative agreement will ensure that contributors to Bayou Traditions will be stewarded the same as those who give to TAF philanthropically. These supporters will have the opportunity to receive all corresponding membership benefits and TAF priority points. Contributions to Bayou Traditions do not qualify as charitable donations, nor are they eligible for university naming opportunities.
“This partnership allows Bayou Traditions access to first-class fundraising, events and stewardship services,” said Tiger Athletic Foundation President and CEO, Matt Borman. “LSU student-athletes will benefit greatly from Bayou Traditions’ focus on enhanced NIL opportunities while achieving greater efficiency and fundraising success through resources made available by TAFSC.”
More importantly, this innovative approach to fundraising and stewardship will allow LSU Athletics to continue to provide its programs and student-athletes with the resources needed to win championships.
