Loyola University Chicago Athletics

Donation Request Form

The Loyola University Chicago Department of Athletics (Loyola Athletics) prides itself on being a contributing member of the Chicagoland community. We are happy to support our neighbors through donating to "not-for-profit" organizations throughout the year.

The general policy is that donations will take the form of tickets to a men’s or women’s basketball game or a prize pack of LUC branded items. If there is a request for an autographed item, it is expected that the entity seeking this autographed item will purchase the item to be autographed and provide it to the Athletic Department to secure the appropriate autograph.

Donation Request Policies

• All requests for donations and autographs from Loyola Athletics (including Loyola Basketball and Ticket Office) must be submitted via the Donation Request Form.
