The link mentions the website is bare bones, but it seems important for people to know if their contributions are tax deductible.
I don't see a FAQ page. But using the terminology "Contribute Now" vs. Donate, my guess is no.

Peterson: Iowa State boosters create the 'We Will' collective to help compete in NIL landscape
Name, image and likeness financial opportunities are part of the college athletics landscape now. Iowa State boosters are doing their part to help.

100% understandable that it’s “bare bones”… but I’d guess it’s not that hard to layout how/who gets chosen to get money from the collective and how much they will receive.
When you contributed - were there any terms/agreement that you had to acknowledge?

this link has what youre looking for
It’s not. I’m looking for actual specifics.
This also states “will serve as a means to retain Iowa State athletes” - does this mean incoming freshmen won’t be offered an opportunity to make money from their NIL?
It state a couple of names - but list no specific names/process of who will be involved of making the final decision.
I saw that. That’s good since it honestly looks like they spent 5 minutes on it.
That seems like an issue and it also seems like an idea should be more fleshed out than we will give money to people to work with Unnamed charities.
A lot of good suggestions in this thread. A FAQ section will be important and honestly some type of running total of money received or money in the collective should public. I honestly think that would help the momentum.
It makes sense why the website looks so rushed - they wanted to come out early and be the first P5 school with a NIL collective so they moved fast.
Actually I am being told that we are already behind most schools as it is

I have young kids in youth sports and i think about how this might affect them. An unintended consequence of the NIL is now every parent who was gunning to get a scholarship for their kid, will now be thinking he or she is worth $200k as a 3 star recruit in addition to the scholarship. It's going to make the unbearable parents and coaches that much worse while continuing the downfall of youth athletics.
It will far exceed this.
Wonder if it will bleed into D3 schools at some point in some capacity.
So wait. The collective money doesn’t even go to the athletes but charities? Am I reading this right?
Who knows. But make sure to contribute before you find out!
