Intercollegiate Athletics
Intercollegiate athletics departments are fundraising in unprecedented times. The transfer portal and Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) opportunities have significantly changed the landscape of college athletics. In addition, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 reshaped how donors may receive tax benefits for contributions supporting athletics programs at institutions of higher education.
Chalk Consulting understands the unique culture, pace, visibility, and pressure surrounding intercollegiate athletics. We partner with athletics departments, foundations, and affiliated organizations to strengthen fundraising, engagement, sponsorship strategy, and leadership development efforts during this evolving era of collegiate sports.
