Cyclone Club Priority Points System

A priority points system was created to provide a consistent, fair, orderly and equitable procedure for distributing benefits (primarily tickets and parking) to Iowa State University Athletics donors. Donors are rewarded (by accumulating points) for annual and lifetime giving to Athletics as well as season ticket purchases in football, men’s basketball and women’s basketball. Donor level within the Cyclone Club, in conjunction with position in the priority points system, determines order of distribution for the current year’s available benefits. Only active donor accounts earn priority points.

Sample Calculation

An Iowa State donor contributed amounts ranging from $1,500 to $5,000 annually over a five-year period. The donor's all-time giving totaled $13,000. In addition, the donor purchased 11 season tickets during that time frame. See the chart below to see how the donor's priority points are calculated.

Drive Year	Annual Giving	Priority Pts.	Season Tickets	Priority Pts.
1	$1,500	=150	FB	=10
2	$1,500	=150	FB, MBB	=20
3	$2,500	=250	FB, MBB	=20
4	$2,500	=250	FB, MBB, WBB	=20
5	$5,000	=500	FB, MBB, WBB	=30

All-time Giving: $13,000 = 130 Priority Points
