Ways of Giving.

Skyjacks Membership

Your annual Skyjacks membership is essential for the growth and success of our student-athletes. In order to remain competitive with our conference peers and provide a holistic experience earned by our Lumberjack student-athletes, we need support from all alumni, friends and fans of NAU. You truly make a difference!

Sport Specific Giving.


Each of NAU’s 15 intercollegiate athletic teams has a fund available for fans to directly support the programs they are most passionate. Every sport-specific gift has a positive impact on each student-athlete of that prospective sport. The contributions our teams receive through their specific fund allows for opportunities such as, recruiting, travel, nutrition and much more.

As a donor, the benefits offered for gifts made to a specific sport are consistent with the Skyjacks member benefits as you are recognized as a member when contributing to the Skyjacks and/or an individual sport.


Student-Athlete High Performance Center.


In February 2019, NAU Athletics officially announced its plan to construct the Student-Athlete High Performance Center- a new on-campus facility designed to serve the academic and athletic needs of NAU’s 350+ student-athletes. This comprehensive, state-of-the-art facility will sit adjacent to our new practice field.

Planned Giving.


Great days are ahead for our Lumberjacks thanks to the generous support of our Skyjacks members. One of the simplest, yet most powerful ways to give is through your will or estate plans. Did you know that you can direct your planned gift to support athletes in the sport of your choice? Consider creating your legacy today through a gift in your will that will change the lives of our student-athletes.

To learn more, please contact us or Shannan Rice, Assistant Director of Planned Giving for NAU at Shannan.Rice@nau.edu.

Please note, Planned Gifts are not eligible for Skyjacks member benefits or ticket related requirements.

Endowment.


A scholarship endowment is applied to student-athlete scholarships, allowing you to create an everlasting impact, directed to the sport of your choice. When you create an endowment, beginning at $25,000, you create opportunities for the athletic and academic success of our student-athletes. This gift lives in perpetuity, directly impacting the future generations of Lumberjack student-athletes.
