I-Club Membership
The I-Club is the UI Foundation's annual fund-raising program for all UI intercollegiate athletic programs. Managed in accordance with the policies of the Big Ten Conference and the NCAA, the fund was established in the early 1970s at the request of the Iowa athletic department when it became clear that revenues from ticket sales and media revenues could not keep pace with rising expenses.
The Hawkeye Funds provide support for the general athletic budget including expenses associated with scholarships, travel equipment, athletic facilities operations, and medical services for all Hawkeye teams. The Iowa Scholarship Fund and Iowa Women's Scholarship Fund exclusively support scholarships (tuition, room, and board) for all athletic teams.
Contributors to the Hawkeye Funds of $50 or more annually become members of the I-Club. For both spouses to be recognized at any of the I-Club levels, each person must give the minimum qualifying amount for that level.
The athletic giving year runs July 1 to June 30, which coincides with the University's fiscal year. Currently we are in the 2008 athletic giving year. Join the I-Club today by making your gift online!
You also may authorize the UI Foundation to automatically transfer funds from your checking or savings account each month in support of Hawkeye athletics. Print an Electronic Funds Transfer form and follow the simple instructions.
I-Club member courtesies information also is available in chart format.
