For more than 50 years, ISU Rugby has built athletes, leaders, lifelong friendships, and a community that extends far beyond the pitch.

Now, we’re building something new: an independent alumni organization dedicated to providing sustainable, direct support to both the men’s and women’s rugby programs.

​

The ISU Rugby Founders Club is your opportunity to help build that foundation from the beginning.

​

Become a Founder

Every donor who contributes to the ISURFC Alumni Association during the Founders Club Campaign will be permanently recognized as a Founder of the organization — regardless of gift amount.

​

There is no minimum gift to become a Founder. Give once, give monthly, or make a leadership commitment. Every contribution helps strengthen the future of ISU Rugby.

​​​​​

What Your Support Makes Possible

Your gift helps create an independent source of support that allows alumni to respond directly to the needs and opportunities of ISU Rugby.

​

Support the Teams

Help meet immediate and ongoing needs for the men’s and women’s programs, including kits, balls, travel, tournament expenses, and other team-specific costs.

 

Build the Program

Invest in shared assets and infrastructure such as uprights, scrum sleds, storage, equipment, and facilities — with an eye toward bigger opportunities for the future, including a dedicated ISU Rugby pitch.

​

Invest in Players & Coaches

Create opportunities for scholarships, player development, coaching, and other investments that strengthen the rugby experience for current and future players.

​

A small portion of contributions also supports the administrative infrastructure necessary to operate the ISURFC Alumni Association responsibly and sustainably.

​

Leadership Recognition Tiers

Founders who make larger commitments during the campaign will receive additional recognition:

​

• Starting XV — $15,000+

Our highest level of leadership giving.

• Tight V — $5,000–$14,999

Recognizing Founders making a significant early investment in the organization.

• Back Line — $1,000–$4,999

Recognizing Founders helping build a strong financial foundation for the future.

 

Leadership recognition is based on cumulative giving during the campaign, and commitments may be fulfilled through December 31, 2027.

​

Help Build the Next Chapter

This is more than a fundraising campaign. It is a chance for alumni, friends, and supporters to build something that can serve ISU Rugby for generations to come. Every gift matters. Every donor is a Founder.
