Endowments

The University of Texas at Austin relies on its many alumni and friends to maintain its stature as a world-class university. Endowments established by friends of the school are invested in perpetuity to support the four fundamental building blocks of any great educational institution – faculty, students, programs and facilities.

Often described as “gifts that keep on giving,” endowments leverage your gift across time and provide tangible, lasting benefits. The UT system invests your funds, using distributions from the investment for the purpose you wish to support – financial aid or merit awards for students, faculty support and research productivity, academic programs, and renovation and operation of facilities such as classrooms and centers of excellence for targeted curriculum and research initiatives. A portion of the total income and capital gains is reinvested each year, enabling the endowment to continue to grow and provide a predictable, stable stream of income over time.

For information on Endowments, contact Maryann Maltz  in the McCombs School at (512)475-8179 or Maryann.Maltz@mccombs.utexas.edu.
