Members* of the VAF earn Priority Points that are used to determine their overall ranking among all members.
VAF uses a member’s Priority Points when assigning both ticket and parking locations. Priority Points are recalculated each year and are activated when a current year Annual Fund pledge is made.
*Any individual that makes a donation to VAF becomes a VAF Member.
Donors have the option to waive all benefits.
Sabre Society commitments made in 2024 and beyond are eligible for VAF Lifetime Priority Points (gift x .02) and for Bonus Priority Points per the table below. These Bonus Priority Points are awarded once a commitment is paid in full. Annual Fund Scholarship Club donors (in- and out-of-state) receive additional Priority Points (pledge x .08) for their current year Annual Fund commitment.
