Boise State University continues to move forward with our important work. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, Congress has enacted several tax law changes. We have created this page as a resource to help you with your tax planning and to offer some ideas for you to consider if you are thinking about making a gift in support of our students during this time of great need.
As part of the large-scale volunteer effort that began on campus earlier this spring to 3D print face shields to protect against the Coronavirus, the university provided 200 shields to the park for use by rangers, healthcare workers in surrounding communities and others.
The Boise State Virtual Race Series, presented by the Boise State Alumni Association and the Bronco Athletic Association, includes 5k, 10k and half-marathon distances — plus a kids’ race. So, whether you run on a treadmill, jog/walk around the neighborhood, dance around the house or scooter around the block, we have a distance for you. A portion of the proceeds from the race will support Boise State student scholarships.
Your philanthropic support of students, faculty and academic programming is essential to Boise State’s advancement as a metropolitan research university of distinction. Donors make the difference.
Thanks to the generosity of Boise State University College of Business and Economics alumni, Luke and Kasey Dixon, ’08, graduates of the College of Health Science nursing program will get some student debt relief. The Ketchum couple sponsored a campaign where a portion of the sales from their company’s adult beverage, boozie, cocktail in a can, was donated to the Idaho Relief Fund. Of the $45,000 raised for local needs, $33,603 went to help with nursing student loan debt. The fund was established to support nurses and others working the front lines of the COVID-19 global pandemic. Thank you, Luke and Kasey!
When Rick and Terri Pedigo’s oldest daughter, Lauren, began attending Boise State, the Vancouver, Washington, couple say that bleeding blue became a regular part of their lives. In addition to traveling to games to cheer on Bronco athletic teams, they also made giving in support of students and student-athletes part of their Boise State experience.
Ivy entered the Idaho foster care system when she was 13. She lived in foster homes and a group home before coming to Boise State as a freshman. Defying the odds, she graduated in May with a double major in environmental studies and political science. This fall, she’ll begin the master’s program in public administration at Boise State. Meet Ivy.
Glen Walker and Caile Spear have provided financial support to Boise State students for nearly 25 years. As members of the Loyal Broncos giving society — donors who give philanthropic gifts for five or more consecutive years — the Boise couple said they understand first-hand the financial challenges students have while attending college.
Many employers “match” their employees’ charitable contributions, providing an easy and effective way of leveraging your gift to Boise State. Some companies provide the guidelines and forms to fill out online, or you can check with your Human Resources office. Some companies match the contributions of retirees and employees’ spouses.
