Ways to Give

Beneficiary designations

Maximize your support and minimize taxes through gifts of IRA distributions, retirement plan assets or life insurance.

Endowment gifts

Endowments are gifts that keep on giving. They provide perpetual support for the college and our students and are an investment in the future of pharmacy education. Your gift is invested—never spent—and the original gift amount is protected while distributions support the endowment’s purpose.

The current minimum funding levels to establish an endowment at The University of Texas at Austin are:

• Chair: $2 million
• Professorship: $500,000
• Endowed Presidential Graduate Fellowship: $250,000
• Faculty Fellowship: $250,000
• Graduate Fellowship: $100,000
• Endowed Excellence Funds: $25,000

You can also support one of the following established endowments:

• Pharmacy Administration Graduate Student Endowment
  Provide financial support for graduate students enrolled in Pharmacy Administration.
   
• Pharmacy Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship
  Help students with financial needs succeed professionally and academically.
   
• Pharmacy Student Professional Development Endowment
  Support student travel to pharmacy meetings and conferences across the country.
   
• Endowment for Excellence in Psychiatric Pharmacy and Clinical Neuroscience
  Programmatic support and work in Psychiatric Pharmacy and Clinical Neuroscience.
   
• Lynn and Jeanette Crismon Endowed Excellence Fund
  Honor former Dean M. Lynn Crismon and support Psychiatric Pharmacy.

Estate and planned gifts

Leave a legacy of generosity with gifts that can help meet your financial and philanthropic goals.

Gifts of stock

Gifts of appreciated securities are easy to make and provide great tax benefits.

Matching gifts

Your donation can make double—possibly even triple—the impact if your employer offers a matching gift program. Some employers will even match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. Search for your employer to see if your company participates. If they do, request their matching gift form. Include the signed, completed form with your gift and we’ll take care of the rest.

Sponsorships

The College of Pharmacy is proud to have such strong connections to its business partners, including corporations, small businesses, foundations and associations. We recognize that a large part of the excellent education we offer includes providing experiential experiences and professional development opportunities to our students. To this end, we rely on our business partners to provide financial and in-kind support to make these opportunities possible.

There are many ways companies choose to support the UT College of Pharmacy:

• Providing scholarship support to offset the financial burdens our students experience is a fantastic way to support students. You may set up a pass-through scholarship or endowment in your company’s name to support students. 
   
• Sponsoring a student organization activity or initiative is a great way to support our pharmacy student professional development and connect with our student leaders. These functions include Project Collaborate, professional speakers, New Student Orientation and award banquets. 
   
• Offering opportunities to apply for grants to fund activities and scholarships.
