Autograph and Donation Requests
A Community Partner
The University at Buffalo Division of Athletics is committed to being involved in the Western NY community and working collaboratively with groups and organizations that desire to make a positive impact in the area. We value opportunities to involve the UB Bulls with the work of other community groups and we will make every effort to support as many requests as possible. The UB Donation Request form is available HERE. Once filled out and submitted online, your document will be automatically routed to the appropriate office for review. Be sure to include all requested documentation.
Athlete Autographs
Student athletes can provide fan autographs through permissible, UB Athletics approved NIL requests. To work directly with a current UB student athlete for an autograph [or any other NIL activity including appearances, shout outs, etc], please visit the Built in Buffalo Exchange. You can purchase UB athlete jerseys and gear through our online retailers at the UB NIL Store and Athlete's Thread.
Donation Request Limitations
Only requests made by a registered charitable, educational or non-profit organization will be considered. Proof of non-profit status may be required for some requests. NCAA rules prohibit the Division of Athletics from providing donations to a high school or any organization that benefits prospective student-athletes (grades 9-12, junior college, prep school) through raising money for the high-school's or organization's athletics or other programs. In addition, an institution may not donate to any organization for the purpose of raising funds to provide financial assistance/scholarships to high-school students to attend the collegiate institutions of their choice. So, if you are hosting a fundraiser for any type of college scholarship for high school or junior college students, we are unfortunately unable to provide you with any assistance or donations.
Requests for Donations of Tickets
The University at Buffalo Division of Athletics is committed to supporting the community’s charitable, educational and philanthropic causes through its ticket donation program. Each year, the Division of Athletics receives hundreds of donation requests and strives to accommodate as many entities as possible. NCAA rules, however, preclude the distribution of tickets to specific individuals and organizations.
The tickets are not to benefit an individual of “recruitable” age (grades 9-12, junior college, prep school). Therefore, we may not issue complimentary tickets or donations of any kind to high school clubs, teams, or other high school-aged groups as part of their fundraisers or raffles. We do offer a limited number of recruiting pass list tickets for high school groups to attend UB home games in basketball, volleyball, football and wrestling--contact the coaches directly for these requests.
