McCombs Matching Gift Program

The McCombs Matching Gift Program, made possible by Red McCombs’ investment in our future, represents a strategic resource for the school and a significant opportunity for donors. This program allows donors of selected endowments to effectively double their gifts, creating endowments with twice the impact for the school.

In the fall of 2003, the McCombs School established a new strategic vision that is designed to enable us to become the best public business school in the nation. In support of that vision, funds from the matching gift program will emphasize the creation of unrestricted endowments. However, a portion of the matching funds will be available to benefit specific departments, provided the endowment charters grant suitable flexibility to ensure long-term benefits and continuous fulfillment of the donor’s aims.

Endowments must meet minimum funding amounts, currently $50,000 for unrestricted Scholarships and Excellence Funds, $1 million for Faculty Chairs, and $2 million for Interdisciplinary Research Centers.
