BIG EAST Fund

Since becoming a member of the BIG EAST Conference in 2013, the Athletic Department has seen great success through many programs. It is important, however, that the Athletics leadership team is provided with ample resources to maintain Creighton's competitive edge in the BIG EAST Conference.

The BIG EAST Fund provides flexibility to address the department's greatest current need and apply money where it does the most good - such as growing athletic scholarships, increased recruiting budgets, BIG EAST travel and maintaining competitive athletic staffing. This discretionary fund allows the leadership team to make decisions that impact the department's success, but require additional financial resources.

In addition to the financial commitment associated with Creighton's membership transition, recent NCAA and conference legislation require that athletic scholarships include stipends covering the true cost of attending college - transportation, supplies and laundry money, for example. Your support of the BIG EAST Fund will help Creighton Athletics meet this new financial obligation.

Gifts of $25,000 or more allocated to the BIG EAST Fund may qualify for select naming opportunities in select Creighton Athletics facilities. BIG EAST Fund donations do not influence Jaybackers membership benefits. Under the University's 501(c)(3) status, all gifts made to the BIG EAST Fund are tax deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.
