THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS, INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS

1

We believe the size and scope of our mission are as great and grand as the Lone Star State we so proudly represent. Our responsibility is to the more than 500 male and female student-athletes who trust us with their growth and development and to the alumni, fans and friends who love the Texas Longhorns.

To keep pace with expectations and goals, we keep our focus small, centered on the relationships developed through teamwork. We work together to support each other. While we are “big,” our aim is to ensure that Texas always has the familiar feel of family.

Your place in our family is at the heart of our purpose. We exist to develop young competitors as whole people, who can achieve excellence in all pursuits – in athletics, in academics and in life. Your generosity and goodwill provide student-athletes with the support and resources necessary to pursue their dreams.

Thank you for joining us and being part of our team. At Texas, team means family.

Hook ‘em, Horns!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT. IT’S A GIFT THAT CHANGES LIVES.

Founded in 1986 by DeLoss Dodds, the Longhorn Foundation is the o£ cial fundraising arm of Texas Athletics. Through the generosity of Longhorn Foundation members, Texas Athletics annually supports the educational and competitive pursuits of more than 500 student-athletes by providing them with master coaches, elite performance centers and focused academic nurturing.

He’s climbed Mount Kilimanjaro twice to raise money for Waterboys, an organization devoted to using the NFL’s platform to impact the world by providing clean water to communities in need.

Following one of the best seasons in Texas Track and Field history, Courtney Okolo was awarded The Bowerman, the most prestigious collegiate award, likened to the “Heisman Trophy” of track and fi eld. A 10-time fi rst team All-American, Courtney dominated the 400 meters and 4x400 meter relay during her time at Texas. She ran the opening leg of the 4x400 meter relay during the Rio Olympics and brought home gold for the United States.

YOUR IMPACT

THE DELOSS DODDS LEADERSHIP TEAM EXPERIENCE“The University changed my life. That’s the main thing. And it changed a lot of other people’s lives. It took someone from a small, rural town in Texas and broadened my horizons and made me think in a di� erent way, and that’s what is important to me as a person. All I’ve tried to do is give something back because I feel obligated to this institution for what’s it’s done for me personally.”

Full Cost of AttendanceAverage $81,845 annually

“There are so many resources here at Texas, which have helped me dramatically. When I came here as a freshman, I was a little overwhelmed. Everyone wants to help you in every aspect of life. I don’t think there is another school that genuinely cares about its student-athletes the way Texas does.”

- Cat McCoyVolleyball, Class of 2018

GIVING MADE EASY: OPTIONS FOR MAKING YOUR GENEROUS DONATION

Excellence Funds

Planned GivingEndowments

Capital Projects

Credit Card

Check

Gifts of Securities

Matching Gifts

Excellence funds allow Texas Athletics the fl exibility to determine and direct funds to the greatest areas of need. Distributions of excellence funds go directly towards the specifi ed sport or program. Donors can also make donations to either sport-specifi c or student-athlete service areas such as Athletics Performance, Academic Services, and Performance Nutrition.

Planned gifts can be made now or deferred to a later time. Gifts include bequests through a will, retirement plan assets, charitable trusts and estate giving.

With the fi nancial expertise of the University of Texas behind us, we invest your gift. The principle remains untouched. Each year, we use the distribution – like dividends on a mutual fund account – to support student-athletes. Contributing to an endowment guarantees our program’s fi nancial stability and provides for the educational well-being of our student-athletes – not just today but forever.

Facility improvements provide resources for student-athletes, create one of a kind experiences for fans, generate exposure for the university and help recruit the fi nest talent from across the country and beyond. More important than walls and roofs, the activities that take place in our facilities foster the emotional and physical well-being of our student-athletes.

The Longhorn Foundation accepts Visa, MasterCard and American Express. You can make your gift online at TheLonghornFoundation.com/GiveNow or by phone.

Gifts of stocks, bonds and mutual funds are accepted and coordinated with the UT System O£ ce of Development and Gift Planning Services. Please contact Charlotte Hambrick at 512-488-3927 for more information.
