Philanthropy matters….
IT TRANSFORMS LIVES. IT UNLEASHES KNOWLEDGE AND UNLOCKS NEW DISCOVERIES.
IT CREATES A FUTURE THAT IS BRIGHTER, BETTER AND STRONGER FOR THE WORLD.
To say that 2018 was impressive in terms of philanthropy is an understatement. The University experienced a record outpouring of giving, impacting student success initiatives, research and faculty support, facilities, athletics and a healthy Houston. With nearly 180,000 donors to date, our “Here, We Go” Campaign met with great success, reaching the $1 billion dollar mark eighteen months ahead of schedule. Many of these gifts have been transformational, helping us fuel research and innovation at every turn as we anticipate moving well beyond our billion dollar goal in 2019-2020.
As you will read, our faithful giving community has allowed us to turn bold initiatives into reality. The gifts highlighted in this philanthropy report inspire future generations of students, foster faculty and staff excellence and create new opportunities for all. Without your passion and commitment, we would not be the University we are today.
I hope you enjoy our tribute to those who have helped the University achieve beyond what we thought was possible.
Thank you.
