Q: What’s the difference between Membership Level and Priority Points?
A: There are nine different membership levels. Your annual giving total will determine your membership level. Each member level has increasing benefits based on level of giving, which may be seen at the EAF Member Benefits page. In addition, there is a priority point system to create a fair and equitable process for handling benefit distribution to its members, and that process may be seen at the EAF Priority Process page.

Q: How do I earn Priority Points?
A: Five points will be given for every dollar donated to athletics before November 1, 2014. One point per every $100 donated for the current year unrestricted general fund to the EAF. 500 points will be awarded once to anyone who served as a fund driver volunteer in the prior to 2014.

Q: If I don’t donate for the current year will I still have my priority points?
A: Yes, priority points are cumulated over your lifetime.

Q; If I don’t donate for the current year will I still be considered a member & receive benefits?
A: No, a member must donate for the current year to be eligible for benefits for that current year. Anyone who does not donate will not be considered a member for that specific year.

Q: How can I find how many priority points I have?
A: Call the Eagle Athletic Fund office at 509-359-6399 and they can let you know your ranking.

Q: Why do EAF unrestricted donations get points, while restricted donations to excellence funds do not?
A: EAF unrestricted donations allows the athletic department to support the experience of every student-athlete and to direct funds to the areas of greatest student-athlete need.

Q: Can I give on behalf of a family or friend member? 
A: Yes, that friend or family member will become an EAF member and will receive the appropriate benefits based on the donation.

Q: Does my donation include the cost of tickets?
A: The cost of tickets is not included in your donation to the EAF, and does not add to your priority points.

Q: What is the best way to get more priority points?
A: Making gifts or pledges to the unrestricted category of EAF is the best way to get more priority points.

Q: Is my donation tax-deductible?
A: Consult your financial advisor for appropriate deductible of your gift.

Q: How do I request to upgrade my seating or parking?
A: Call the EWU Ticket Office at 509-359-6059. Your request will be considered based on available inventory in priority order.
