Current Campaign: Carolina Committed
Over the past 10 years, South Carolina Athletics has invested significantly into facilities and resources for each of our 21 sports programs through capital resources derived from donations to the athletics department. While this tremendous improvement has significantly enhanced the experience for our student-athletes and fans alike, there are still many opportunities to provide a higher caliber experience of both student-athlete and fan. To accomplish this, The Carolina Committed Campaign is built on three pillars: For the Fan, Program Enhancements, and Outside the Lines. This campaign will address our immediate needs in improving the fan experience at Williams-Brice, Olympic sport facilities, as well as supporting initiatives outside the lines.

Ways to Give
Liquid Assets/Cash
A gift of cash is the most popular way of supporting Gamecock Athletics. Gifts of cash are ordinarily tax-deductible for up to 50% of your adjusted gross income in the year of the contribution (with a five-year carryover for the excess not utilized.)
Securities/Stock Transfers
When you donate securities, you generally do not incur any capital gains tax. You also may be eligible to receive a federal income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of publicly traded securities if you have held them for at least a year and a day.
Bequests/Wills
Leaving money to the University through your will or trust is the most popular estate planning option. With a provision in your will, a donor can make a significant gift that may not have been possible during his or her lifetime. It also provides valued support after annual giving ends. An estate-tax charitable deduction for the entire amount of the gift is allowed.
Charitable Gift Annuity
When the gift annuity matures, the balance provides support to the University of South Carolina Educational Foundation. In exchange for a gift of property, marketable securities, or cash, the Foundation will contractually guarantee to pay you and/or another beneficiary guaranteed, fixed payments for life.
Retirement Plan Assets
One may avoid heavy taxation of retirement funds and support Gamecock Athletics by designating the University as a beneficiary of your IRA, 401K or other retirement vehicle. Since these funds have not been taxed, these assets may be the best resource to designate for charitable purposes. Lifetime transfers from IRAs or Roth IRAs are possible for donors who are 70 1/2 years or older.
Charitable Remainder Trust
One may create a trust agreement in which you can transfer assets and retain income. When the payment period ends, the University of South Carolina Educational Foundation receives a gift. Funding the trust with long-term appreciated assets generates no capital gains tax liability on the transfer.
Athletics COVID-19 Resilience Fund
The Athletics COVID-19 Resilience Fund was launched to help Gamecock Athletics retain the necessary resources to continue to provide first-class experiences to our over 570 Gamecock student-athletes despite the challenges presented by COVID-19.
- Student-athlete scholarships
- Educational benefits such as textbooks, access to tutors, and professional development training
- Ancillary student-athlete expenses including meals, housing, medical costs, and injury assistance
- Operational costs including but not limited to facilities expenses, staff salaries, Olympic sport programs
The Women of South Carolina
Our mission is to provide the best possible female student-athlete experience. The more we invest in our women, the more successful they can become.
- (S)HERO- She is Honorable, Empowering, Resilient, and Owns It: a forum where female student-athletes can effectively and proactively support each other
- Professional development seminars demonstrate how to prepare for the work environment
- Provide the opportunity for female student-athletes to attend national conferences such as Women Leaders, Black SA Summit or NCAA Diversity and Inclusion Conference
- Partner with LEARFIELD and send students to various networking opportunities across the country
Beyond Sports
The Beyond Sports Professional Development & Internship Program provides meaningful experiences for student-athletes across varying disciplines by facilitating professional development programming, in conjunction with paid internships, in order to best prepare Gamecocks for life beyond college.
- Interview experience with feedback from community partners
- Provide student-athletes with meaningful work experience in a professional setting in his/her area of professional interest
- Enhance student-athletes’ resume
- Teach student-athletes how to build a professional network
- Student-athlete scholarships
- Expand student-athlete references beyond professors and coaches
- Help student-athletes prepare for life beyond college
Gamecock CEO
The Gamecock CEO experience empowers student-athletes to become the CEO of their lives by providing the resources to educate, inspire and holistically develop student-athletes as they transition into college and in preparation for life after graduation.
- Professional Development
Gamecock athletes hone in on tangible and intangible skills that will enhance employability and success beyond Carolina - Personal Development
Student-athletes will grow through self-identity, awareness, relationship building and independent, autonomous decision making for life after UofSC - Leadership Development
Developing the next generation of leaders both on and off the field of play - Service
A continuing commitment by Gamecock student-athletes to respond with both time and effort to the needs of their local communities and beyond
