The Rice University Athletic Department strives to support and encourage schools, organizations and charities within our surrounding communities. Unfortunately, due to the volume and frequency of requests for Rice Athletic tickets and memorabilia, and other contributing factors, we are unable to fulfill all requests.

The Marketing Department handles all donation requests regardless of sport. Please direct all questions and inquiries to Andrew Stephens at 713.348.5956 or astephens@rice.edu.

Please review the guidelines below to ensure that your request is eligible for consideration.

The downloadable Charitable Request Form (see link below) must be submitted in order for a request to be considered.
