The Lyle Smith Society
The Lyle Smith Society
is a leadership giving society to support Boise State Athletics.
The purpose of the Lyle Smith Society is to increase philanthropic revenues for Boise State Athletics, supporting operational needs and capital priorities.
The Lyle Smith Society will position Bronco student-athletes for greater success in the classroom, in competition, and in life after graduation.
Over $5.5 million have been provided each year by philanthropic giving for the past two years.
Philanthropic money is any giving that is not specifically tied to per-seat contributions or parking.
Over the next three years, we aim to raise an additional $3.5 million per year above current annual BAA fundraising to maintain our high level of success.
Lyle Smith Society membership begins with a minimum pledge of $25,000 over a five-year period or donating an annual cash gift of $25,000 or more. Boise State Athletics will establish its top priorities, but Lyle Smith Society members will have the flexibility to designate their gift to the fund of their choice. These funds may include, but are not limited to:
Bronco Nation Fund
Women’s Sports Fund
Sport Enhancement Funds
Endowment
Capital Projects
BroncoLife and BroncoBOLD
Sports Performance, Health & Wellness
While the program is philanthropic in nature, Lyle Smith Society members will enjoy unique stewardship opportunities based on giving levels.
Membership in the Lyle Smith Society has many advantages, but the biggest perk is knowing that your gift will have an impact on generations of Broncos to come.
"Our donors have helped provide one of the nation’s premier student-athlete experiences, preparing them for excellence not just in their athletic endeavors, but for the rest of their lives. The Lyle Smith Society provides an additional opportunity to help shape the future of Bronco Athletics, and Boise State University."
