How do donor gifts impact the university?
Gifts enhance student learning, support scholarships, create endowed chairs and professorships, fund faculty and student research and their creative endeavors, and elevate UNT's prominence and reach – both locally and globally.
Committed supporters (those who believe in what the university is doing and where it is going) are the driving force behind the energy that is allowing UNT to become a national leader in education, research and scholarship, student support and community engagement — the pillars of a great public research university.
Gifts to ETEC are increasing, which has allowed continued development of innovative learning, teaching and scholarship initiatives — all of the things that are fundamental to UNT's mission as a public research university.

Ways to give to UNT
- Major Gifts play a significant role in university development. They fund many of UNT’s most important scholarships, fellowships, lectureships, campus improvements and more.
- Endowed Gifts create a legacy that will impact generations of UNT students because they provide a steady stream of support from permanently invested funds, ensuring the long-term success of the university. Contributions can be designated to scholarships, professorships, buildings, departmental chairs and programs.
- Annual Gifts are yearly opportunities to invest in the ongoing work of UNT. Each time you give to this core support for UNT, you provide for student research, equipment acquisition, scholarships and faculty development. Gifts can be designated to a specific department or area of the donor’s choice.
- Corporate and Foundation Giving helps ensure the viability of our schools and colleges. Establishing these relationships strengthens our academic, programmatic and research capacities.
- Volunteering leverages the expertise and connections of our alumni and friends. Volunteers do guest lectures in classrooms or open doors to student internships. They serve on the department or college’s advisory boards, where they help us stay abreast of industry practices. In a fundraising campaign, our volunteers are on the front lines raising money for the college and telling our story.
