Pledge Per Win

The Pledge Per Win campaign is a dynamic and performance-based fundraising initiative by the R Fund, giving passionate supporters of Rutgers Athletics a unique opportunity to directly align their giving with the Scarlet Knights' success.

This campaign allows you to pledge a specific dollar amount for every win achieved by a Rutgers Athletics program of your choice during the season. It’s a results-driven model that makes each victory even more meaningful—both for the student-athletes competing and for the donors who back them.

How It Works:

Choose Your Program: Select one or more Rutgers Athletics programs you want to support.
Set Your Pledge: Commit a dollar amount for each win the team earns.
Watch and Cheer: As your team racks up wins, your impact grows right alongside them.

Bonus Pledge Opportunities:

To amplify support, you can add optional bonus pledges. These allow you to pledge additional funds based on specific performance metrics (e.g., goals, free throws, or other sport-specific stats). This adds another layer of engagement and motivation as teams hit major in-game milestones.

Double the Impact:

The Pledge Per Win campaign also offers ways to boost your giving for high-profile matchups.

Top-10 Opponents: Choose to double your pledge when Rutgers secures a win over a team ranked in the top-10 at the time of competition.
Postseason Play: Opt to double your pledge for each postseason victory, supporting your team as they chase championships and elevate Rutgers on the national stage.

*The Tennis program competes during both the fall and spring seasons; however, only spring matches will be part of the Pledge Per Win campaign.
New for the 2026-27 year, your pledge will be charged to the card on file on the first of each month for the prior month's competitions. For example, you will be charged on October 1 for all September competitions for the program you've pledged to support.
You will be charged one pledge payment on the day you make your initial pledge to cover the first win. For example, if you pledge $10 per win and $1 per goal, your credit card will be charged $11 on the day you make your pledge. The amount charged on the day you made your pledge will be deducted from your first official charge of the season.
*If the first of the month falls on the weekend or is a holiday, you will be charged on the next business day.

You can update your payment information in one of two ways.
Recreate your pledge. You can visit the Pledge Per Win page of the sport you are supporting and reenter your pledge and credit card information. Your card will be charged the amount of your pledge, which will be deducted from your next weekly payment.
Contact the R Fund office. You may email the R Fund at rfund@scarletknights.com with a request to update your payment method, and a member of our staff will be able to assist.
No, refunds will not be issued for pledge payments that have already been processed.
No, reminders will not be sent ahead of each charge.
Yes, you will receive an email confirmation for each charge from the Rutgers Ticket Office.
All Pledge Per Win donations to the R Fund are tax-deductible and will be directed to the program fund of the sport you are supporting. Contributions through Pledge Per Win provide unrestricted program support for Scarlet Knight student-athletes. Rutgers Athletics continuously strives to ensure that all student-athletes are successful in the classroom, in competition, and beyond.
Pledge Per Win donations will not count toward any scholarship seat fee requirements associated with purchasing season tickets. However, Pledge Per Win donations will count toward your Priority Points for the 2027-28 season.
No, your Pledge Per Win will not apply toward lost or tied games.
APPLICABLE ONLY TO OPTIONAL BONUS PLEDGE – Pledges made toward the optional bonus pledge will apply toward wins, losses, or tied games.
Yes. Pledge Per Win will apply to postseason & tournament play. You also have the opportunity to double your pledge for postseason and tournament play.
If a program plays a top-10 opponent during the postseason and you've opted to double your pledge for both of those occurrences, your pledge will only be doubled once.
For example, if you've pledged $10 per Men's Lacrosse win, and they play a top-10 opponent in the postseason, you will be charged $20 if they win.
