What is the Ram Club?
The Ram Club serves as the philanthropic engine behind Colorado State Athletics, connecting donors to impact-driven opportunities that elevate the student-athlete experience. It is structured to offer a clear donor journey, from accessible annual giving programs to transformational, legacy-level commitments.
What is the Ram Athletic Fund?
The Ram Athletic Fund is more than just a financial resource—it’s a community of passionate supporters dedicated to fueling the Relentless pursuit of excellence within Colorado State Athletics. Through generosity and commitment, the Ram Athletic Fund provides essential scholarships, academic support, and holistic health care, ensuring our student-athletes have everything they need to thrive—both on and off the field. By investing in Athletics, supporters of the Ram Athletic Fund help drive meaningful momentum across Colorado State University. Athletics strengthens community pride, deepens engagement, and elevates the CSU brand nationally. This impact extends well beyond competition—enhancing the university’s ability to recruit students, inspire alumni, and advance its academic mission.
In addition to launching the Ram Athletic Fund, the Ram Club will continue to offer sport-specific excellence funds, allowing donors to directly support the program of their choice and drive targeted impact.

Priority Points and Donor Rank
The priority point system rewards loyalty for contributions made to the Ram Athletic Fund. This system is designed to provide a fair and transparent method for determining season ticket and parking placement, as well as access to high-demand events and premium hospitality areas. Each membership year, donors will be ranked based on the total number of priority points accrued. The donor with the most amount of priority points will be ranked #1, and the donor with the least amount of priority points will be ranked last.
McGraw Society
The McGraw Society represents the pinnacle of giving within Colorado State Athletics. It is the foundation for our relentless pursuit of excellence – uniting visionary donors who make transformational investments in people, facilities, and the future of the Rams. Members of the Society are true partners in progress, fueling championship-caliber programs, student-athlete development, and legacy-defining impact across generations. This is more than giving – it’s leadership in action.
