I have been a season ticket holder for 15 years, and since I graduated from PSU I have donated over $100k. In 2017 my wife and I set up a charitable trust so we could be more impactful with our philanthropy. Prior to the end of 2017, I called the NLC and explained my donation would come from my Trust and wanted to make sure I got NLC credit and it counted towards my required donation for seats. All that was confirmed. I found out yesterday as I was renewing my tickets that my donation did not count as it came from my Trust (not me) which cannot receive any corresponding benefit. The person I spoke with yesterday and again today within the athletic department said this is well known within the University and I was simply given bad advice from the NLC representative. I am at a complete loss. I would have simply made a donation at year end. I was told not to bother Sandy as she does not address these concerns. I have no idea who I should reach out to.....
Any ideas on who carries weight in the athletic department?
