Originally, the letters IPTAY stood for "I pay ten a year." Begun in 1934 to give Clemson Athletics the support it needed, IPTAY is now one of the most successful athletic fundraising organizations in the country. IPTAY supports student-athlete scholarships, new and upgraded athletics facilities, student-athlete development at the Nieri Family Student-Athlete Enrichment Center, and student-athlete services such as leadership development, community engagement, sports psychology, nutrition, and strength & conditioning. IPTAY also provides funding for mascots, Tiger Band, and cheer. Each and every donation, no matter the amount, drives the IPTAY mission and values forward and elevates the standard of what it means to be a Clemson Tiger.
