Would a company match something like this? My companys matches every dollar I give.
All In? Give to the GridIron Club
- Thread starter CYVADER
- Start date
My company will match donations to the Foundation, but not the Cyclone or Gridiron Clubs. I think taht is pretty standard for matches.
No it is not a slam dunk fact.... it is not true ---- example, no CGC money's will go to the new FB only facility .................. I have donated to the FB only facility and the new score board --- The CGC has not and will not. What has CPR said is the KEY to moving ISU FB forward?? Would you like me to go on......
here's a quote from CPR about the CGC:
"Every winning college football program nationally has, at its core, a committed group of people dedicated specifically to making and sustaining that school's gridiron success. That is what the Cyclone Gridiron Club does for us. The existence and generosity of the Gridiron Club allows us to have the resources to fashion an Iowa State football legacy that is worthy of a great university like ISU. The Gridiron Club funds many day-to-day needs which are necessary to building a winning program in the nation's premier football conference."

Head Coach
bottom line is to give-dont get bent out of shape toward 1 program or another. come together as a fanbase and try to do what's best for the university. if you can give, give. be it to the CGC, NCC, or whatever other program you decide. they all benefit the university, and in the end, isn't that the goal?
Mostly the weight room and nutritional supplements -- important needs but no (I repeat no) capital projects. With the phasing out of any state funding the ISU foundation and NCC are THE BEST WAY to get us what CPaulR has said is the number 1 key to success and likely him staying --- think about it.
If I give a dollar to CGC and you give a dollar to foundation, whose dollar is eroded more by administrative and operational costs before it ever reaches the football program?
The CGC ISN'T INTENDED TO RAISE MONEY FOR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS. So that makes your point completely invalid.
You make it no secret that you have more money than God. Terrific, good for you. chadm indicated he wants to get started with a modest rank and file entry level donation. CGC is the way to go if he wants the most of his dollars to eventually arrive in the football office.
It's good coach speak and exactly what I would expect him to say about a club that raised $200,000 this year. But let's put it in perspective.....Even if all that money went to the new scoreboard (which none of it will) that is less than 5% of the total cost of that single project. Guess what the FB only project will cost? Give til it hurts!! but don't run around with blind faith and screwed up facts when making your donation decisions.
Come on guys, are we really going to argue against donating...
My advice, if you're interested in donating, and want to ensure your donations go to a certain cause, then call up the university and find a group that best fits you. You're donating your money, so you have the right to research it first.
But lets not turn this into a battle.

please try and keep this positive. you make it out as if the CGC is a bad thing for ISU. it isn't.
Good point -- just what I was trying to say. I do think it is safe to suggest that people actually do the research if they care what their money will actually be spent on. And CPR has made pretty clear what his Number 1 priority is. That's all.
I donate to the Gridiron Club and Rhoads said, "He used some money to buy couches for the players to sit on, and devices to record the recruits that they watch so then they can compare them and make better decisions on recruits.
Then your company should match the NCC or the CGC because both of those monies can be moved thru the foundation. My wifes company says it will not match to sports clubs, but since the payments go thru the ISU Foundation Wells Fargo has always matched the donation. You can always try all they can say is no.
I'm now donating $100. It's not much, but the football team has earned it. I really hope we beat Colorado.
CPR and Walters spoke about donating to the CGC toward the end of last nights Paul Rhoads show fwiw...
$100 is a good chunck of money and every amount -- whether it is $5 or $5000 helps. I love all the donating for the cause. I sincerely hope that all those donating continue to do so every year as that is when we, as fans, will continue to see improvements. Support this team and program now, just like we will if they win or possibly lose the next two games.
